I have been needing tires for awhile but have been putting it off until today when I went out to my car and found a nail that went through the bottom of the tire and then out through the sidewall. What a mess. I spent most of the day trying to find a good replacment but is seems that everyone who care the stock measurment for the ng900 (205/50/16) wants $230-150 a tire. I need a tire today not three days from now so also could not buy the tires online like usual. What I decided to do was increase the width of the tire from a 205 to a 225. This allowed for a much larger selection of tires and more affordable prices. After installing I checked to see that they fit without rubbing and they do. No problems at all. They also seem to be handling the road alittle better and since they were attached to the two front tires they also seem to grip the road better. Tired some WOT and I also had less torque steer as well. Overall the tire increase seem to be a real winner for right now. I only wish I could have bought the tires I really wanted and not these Goodyears.
