thanks, so looks like those are the ones I might get. I decided to wait on it for just a little while though.....

I still want to do more research to find out what the best tires for the car are, that have a high mileage rating and handle well and have good wet traction. but also have to be cost effective, or if I really must say it cheap... hehe

I do have another question though, the car right now has 205/55/16's, but it needs new rear tires definately. The fronts appear to be quite new as well. The Fronts are Conti Sport, and the rear which are very low on treat and also on the wheel backwards, so they dont look right at all, are conti 4000H's I believe. Would I be better off buying two conti sports to match the fronts in the same size, or 4 all new tires in the 225/50/16's? Or should I buy the two tires in the 205/55/16 and save up for the 17" AMG Monoblocks, and get tires at that time that are nice? I'd stick to 16's as well, but I dont mind a little bit harsher ride in favor for the look. Performance diffs between 16 and 17 whether better or worse, is not much of a concern to me.

As you can see I'm really just trying to justify how much my expenditure is going to be needed.

I think the 205/55/16's look too small for the car with the 16's. I think the 225/50's would look much better, and would fill the wheel wells nicely.

What do you guys think?

Go for two and save up for the monoblocks? or buy 4 tires in the 225/50 size and still save up for the monoblocks.. hehe

Thing is it might take several months for me to save the cash to get the monoblocks, and then I would want the best tires, and a suspension upgrade hehe, so I would then need to save for that too. so if I'm lookin at havin to save a few grand at least, I dont know if I should spend lets say 450 on new tires, or half that on only two? and just drive it for now until I can afford the sportline suspension with the 17" Monoblocks.

Personally, I would rather put on the 225/50's, and drive on them till I can afford the monoblocks and the suspension upgrade. But any objections to this obviously strange thinking is welcome. hehe

Thanks for your help,

Alon
