Default Upgrading on tires for stock rims
I have an 08 GT premium with stock 17" rims and Pirelli tires. What is the overall best tire for the stock rims? Tires on it are 235 55 zr17 98w. (The Z is speed rating and the 98w is max load cap. 1653lbs. FYI.) What are the lowest profile and width allowed on these rims? I think they're 8.5 stock rim width. Thanks as always guys.
