Default tire question...

I really really hate to ask this question, but what size tires will fit on the stock rim on a z28? Not just the biggest, but all sizes that will fit with no issues.

I need to decide on the tire I want for my summer tire today, And I want as large a selection as possible, which means as many sizes as possible.

Or, if someone can give me an idea for a good summer tire that'd be nice.

I need a tire that will be able to get me through intense rain/standing water, so no drag radials or what-not. My budget is about 100 dollars per tire.

I'm searching tire rack right now, so if you guys have an idea I'll be able to check them out right away.

well it's a 16X8.5, the stock tire is a 245/50-R16's, the BFG KDWS are a good tire, probably not in your budget though. Look at some nexen tires, a off brand made by BFG or goodyear, can't remember, but they are good tires also. I have them on my car and they are doing great.

You can go up to 255... But just stick with 245/50

Yeah, I found the generals. I'm running their snow tire right now, and I was so confident in them that I decided to give the summer tire a try. But of course tire rack is out! >.<

How much snow do you usually see each year?
