I'll buy my next set of tires through DT, about a mile from us. They'll get me the 235-55-17 wide whitewalls I need from either DB Tires or Coker. Price will be the same as if I'd bought them directly, plus I'll guy a warranty on the tires from DT...talked with them a week ago when I had a screw taken out of the tires currently on the Bird. -
Billy.Tell the tire guy that the first number in the tire size relates to width IE: 225 235 etc. The 55 is the height of the tire from the tread to the wheel bead. IE: the aspect ratio. meaning the sidewall is 55 percent as high as thetire is wide. A 50% aspect ratio would mean the tire is 1/2 as tall from the tread to the bead as a percent of the tire width.Originally posted by BillyL View PostComment

thinking of Continental DWS but Ron's strong recommendation has me thinking again. Above ratings from Ebay are also very convincing. 14 reviews, 12 five star and 2 four star. The 4 star had nothing bad to say but were holding back pending a mileage review as tires were new. Impressive. Is there some kind of stigma because of cheap price that some of us are having trouble with?//Bill Coates-Canfield, Ohio

I wish they made them in 245/45r20 for my Chrysler. Looks like only the parent company, Sumitomo, offers that size. Probably at least as good though.Comment

I did see those. Unfortunately, they are a summer tire. I need an all season for our winter.Originally posted by 11TH GEN View PostComment

Actually both convertibles. Was surprised to find them to fit the 18" Volvo wheels and think the 235 55 17 for the Bird should be readily available.Originally posted by 2K2BIRD View PostBill Coates-Canfield, Ohio

Those may be the ticket. Walmart has them at nearly the identical price. The reviews at Walmart give a lot of praise for the tire. Are you familiar with the brand?Originally posted by 11TH GEN View PostComment

Well after recent calls to Boycott I might have to buy Goodyears and I don't even like Goodyears!Bill Coates-Canfield, Ohio
