It all depends what your using the car for... Why spend $300.00 a tire when your only using the car for weekend Cruise-ins and they will probably dry rot halfway through there tread life....

I LOVE these tires! 70mph, rain or shine on the interstate with 315s all around. Can you do that with the goodyears?

I was planning to run 315 all around. NT05 Nitto's FTW:

315 vs 275 side by side:

As far as wheels go, I just went with machined sawblades all around. My favorite wheel look, better than the cuisinarts (IMO). For tires I picked Cooper Zeon RS3-A. 275/40 all around. They look like they'll eat the road. I'll post a couple of pics later. I'm on my phone now.

I upgraded to ZR1 spec A-mold wheels (9.5" front, 11" rear) with 275-40ZR17 and 315-35ZR17 Nitto NT05 tires.
They work well.

Wow! Really beautiful car.
