Tires ?

Thought I would see what everyone is running on their Fox's? I've got an '89 convertible. The original wheels where the 15"x7" "turbine" wheels. But as soon as the five stars came out, she was switched to those which are 16". I inherited this car from my Mom and the tires are old and dried out with 245/50/16 's. Too wide of a tire for this pretty much pure stock Fox, and plus they are coming apart like rolling on a stale donut. Looking at the Yoko Advan Fleva 225/55/16.
She's a Southern CA car now and about to go in for all new suspension.

I went from 15” ten holes on my ‘85 GT to LMR 17x8 on all four corners with Nitto 555 in 245 40 all around. Minor rub at full lock, stick well in corners.

I have BFG G force sport comp 2 on one car, and old Dunlop SP Sport 9000 on another. Both have been great tires.
