Yeah Goodyear has a knack for making odd sizes for original equipment, I see it every day. Guess who owns Dunlop. I don,t know about the other tires on Tire Rack's list, but do not even consider the B.F.G. It is only an S-rated tire. You have to make sure you check speed ratings on tires. DO...

Sir Nuke is right. I work at a tire center and it totaly sounds like a balance problem. There are many ways to balance a tire, maybe they need to try something else. Have them match-mount the tire and wheel, it takes some time but is well worth it. Where did you get the wheels balanced at? I...

Stay away from kuhmo's unless your totaly broke and have no other choice. they are cheap for a reason. Same with Toyo's, they just have great marketers. Stick with the good brands, SO-3's are the shiznit. Also check out B.F.G. G-Force KD's. When B.F.G. brought out a Porche club in Cali to check...

Someone needs to put together a meet to run the "tail of the dragon" in Deal's Gap, NC. Can you say 318 turns in 11 miles? Preferably sometime in August.

Your tires are Dunlop SP5000's. The size is 195/50R16. They are V-rated tires, which means they are good to 149 mph. More importantly they are a high performance tire, they have stiff sidewalls and soft rubber compounds. Unfortunately there is no warranty on an O.E. tire. Even if there was...

cold air is the way to go You guys should check out Racing Beat's web site. They talk about how they tested a short intake and the computer didn't like the hot engine air. Therefore the injen CAI would definitely be the way to go.;)

If you really want to go with 17's, go with a 205/40R17. It is a plus-1 fitment for the mp5. 18'S will not rub if you go wth a 215/35R18 because it is only 2/10th's of an inch taller overall, so it would only be 1/10th of an onch closer to the fender. You could even still lower it the same you...

18's 18's 18's 18's my friend. 215/35R18's are only 2/10th's of an inch taller than stock size. I have a yellow mp5 I'm putting that size in a yellow B.F.G. Scorcher with 18 inch Konig Imagines.:eek:
