I have been doing some research and have found that the bridgestone potenza re750's are cheap (only about $100 a piece)and high quality (barely below the f1 gs-d3). I recieved the info via tirerack very good website cheap too. I was wondering I currently have a 235/60/16 on my 98 STS. Bridgestone does not make this size? but they make a 225/60/16 and a 245/50/16. I was wondering what the results of these tires would be on ride, wear, etc.?
Thanks

Might be a fine tire, but on my 95 SLS, I have found the Michilein Symettry 225/60/16 to be the best ride and best handling tire for Sevilles. I am going to have to buy tires again very soon, as we now have 149000 miles on the car. I will buy the latest Michies . JMO!

235 is the width of the tire basically... measured in MM. If you want that tire, go for the 245s if you want a bit better traction, 225s if you want a teeny tiny bit more fuel economy from rolling resistance. The actual height of the tires are fairly close 135mm for the 225/60s vs 122.5 for the 245/50s.
