Any one have Z rated rubber on stock 16"s ?

I actually like my stock wheels, and wondered if anyone has just upgraded their tires? Was there a big difference?

ok not too up on the info with tires, but I believe my toyo proxies are z rated. i have no problem with them. i feel in control hitting high speeds and the pattern is nice looking. they wear out a little faster than my old ones imo, but rotate them and you should be fine.

geez that would suck to have to change your wheels for different seasons.... florida's overabundant bug problem doesn't seem so bad now. all i do is put on and take off my bra when the 'love bugs' come out

I don't mind, it doubles the treadlife on my tires.


Plus, I would never want to expose my nice rims to all the salt and sand they throw down during the winter.
