Hey guys...quick question for you. My parents have a 02 SSEi that needs some new stock size rubber. Any suggestions on a good brand of all season tires? This is a California car. Can you believe they got 62K out of those POS RSA'*? Thanks for the tips.

Since you want to stay stock size and all season, here are my two of the best:

Michelin Pilot Sport A/* are about $190/tire and are Ultra High Performance All Season tires W rated and are rated at 400 AA A (much higher than POS RSAs)

Dunlop SP Sport A2 are about $119/tire and are High Performance All Season tires H rated and are rated at 420 AA A.

Both are great tires but that'* my two cents. Check tirerack.com for more info on tires if you want.

Hope this helps,
Jason

i'd get a wider tire than stock

What size(*) would you recommend. I've gone plus size on my Regal GS, but am unsure what would be a good change for the Bonne. Keep in mind that my parents aren't gonna take well to anything too aggressive. The bad thing is that the stock size seems to be a rather odd size. Not too many manufacturers make this size. Would a 245-50-17 be much different?

Go to the following website and you can compare two different tire sizes. There are lots of options depending on what you want.

See how that link works for you.

Yup...I've used this calc. many times in the past. I guess my question would be, would the 245-50'* be a good size for the Bonne. Would there be any rubbing? Does anyone else run this size on a Bonne? etc.

Thanks for the info.

I put the Michelin Pilot Sport A/*'* on my 2000 Bonneville. I love them they really look good on the car with the rim gaurd and just the way the tread looks. Plus they ride great. I have never had a ploblem with them in wet weather as far as traction goes. I would really recommend them.

I've got em, too. 245/50ZR-17 on 02 SSEi wheels. I get just a wee little rubbing with the wheel cranked. But I have a 92. There is probably more room in 00+ Bonnies. I love these tires, even though they are pricey.
