205 are to skinny. You need 225. OEM is 225/50-16

Try these

really? hmm i wonder why it gave me that after i put in my car as 1989 toyota supra base model, its a base model if its a hardtop and non turbo right?

 

[RazoE]

Base model means N/A, doesn't matter if it's targa or HT..

Either way, whether it's NA or Turbo, or if it's on Sawblades or 91+ 5 spokes, it's 225 50 16

You can fit up to 255's on the rear's of the sawblades...

But it's not recommended to go that high, personally I had 245's until I swapped in some other rims, and now they're too small for me.. (rims were 16x8, I wanna put some 265's on there, but I'd rather go up to 17's, so Im at a standstill)

Open up the drivers door and read the tag if you don't believe me

I don't know about the US but in my UK spec manual it says you can run 205/60/16 not that you would want to unless it was a winter tyre.

 

[jessetooslow]

Try Maxxis tires, I have them and are real nice.

i've got ecsta spts right now and absolutely love them. 225/50-16's. they're great in the summer but i do break traction pretty easy right now (NA) in winter. i was warned, they're definite summer tires. if i had to do it again i'd get the asx's for all-season performance. i think i got mine for $57 apiece from tire rack this march/april.

I run ecsta ast on mine. Very good all around tire wet or dry, and not noisy.

I have ecsta asx all season, 225/50/16, z rated (if it matters). only time i break traction is in snow, or turning a corner too fast on wet pavement. they grab amazingly well.

 

[modmonster2008]

if i can find a set cheaper than $500 than ill go for it

Narrow body you are talking about:sarcasm:, but I am guessing. Here in the USA(wide body) 225

If those Kumos are the same as what's on my wife's 91, they are noisy..... Compared to the NIttos on my 91.... I will check tonight...

 

[modmonster2008]

what if i have a narrow body? how would u know the difference between US spec and JAPAN?

 

[92nsx]

what if i have a narrow body?

I can assure you my car is an MA71 and the manual is written for my car :wavey:

 

[gtimportfanatic]

the spare tire on the supra is 205. but they limit u to 50mph .. so obviously it aint safe to have a 3500 pound car on honda tires... i learned the hard way about that :3d_frown: .. glad i still have my car thoo. 225/50/16 is what is needed or better for the sawblades... end of story.. anything less is putting you and your car at risk


check the width.. and these were 215/50/16 in the rear and 205/55/16 in the front.. thats how i bought the car and i was about to change the tires like 2 weeks after this happened

now i ride on 225/50/17 up front
245/45/17 in the back

 

[89nasupra]

my self personally, i'm running 245/45/16 and they look nice. i may go to a 255-50-16 when it's time in teh back and 245-45-16 in the front. but to each his own.
