Dunlop Sport 8000's
What is the word on these tires? They have some decent sizes.
245/50-15's would be nice at a Z rated tire. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...%2FPerformance
not terribly pricey. With a section width of 9.6 inches, will they fit in the front? i have 15x7 20 spokes. Or would i have to run the 225/50-15's in the front. Thanks!

Car: currently thirdgenless!!!
Tread wear rating of 200. Soft compound with great grip. Will wear out very fast!!!!
If you can deal with the wear it will be a great tire.

what are we looking at for treadwear?
edit: I mean in miles, I know it is a 200 treadwear tire. Thanks in advance!

That will ofcourse depend on how you drive. But I would say if you are an average driver, 20K. Tops. 200 tread wear is pretty low.
One of my favorite tires over the years was the Yokahama AVS Intermediate. It had (they don't make it any more) a treadwear rating of 180. I usually drive like a little old lady and I could barely get 25k out of them.
