RE: my 2000 TL, 16" Factory rims, 6.5" width
Anyone had this Toyo tire?
I'm looking at a used set - I got the Goodyear Eagle LS - 225/60/16 and they're too damn big They Rub, and I don't wanna shave my bumper

SO I was thinking 215/55/16 - Toyo Proxes AO5
Cuz all he has left in our OEM size or 215/55/16 are Toyos, Goodyear GS/A & GA and our Michelin's - all of which got really bad survey results/reviewson Tire Rack.com

So that's why I was thinking the Toyos...
and that should alleviate the rubbing right?

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
205/60-16 4.8in 12.8in 25.7in 80.7in 785 0.0%
205/55-16 4.4in 12.4in 24.9in 78.2in 811 -3.1%
215/55-16 4.7in 12.7in 25.3in 79.5in 797 -1.5%
215/60-16 5.1in 13.1in 26.2in 82.2in 771 1.8%
225/55-16 4.9in 12.9in 25.7in 80.9in 783 0.2%
225/60-16 5.3in 13.3in 26.6in 83.7in 757 3.7%

There's also a set of Toyo FZ4 in 225/55/16 -
Looking above, I can see why i have rubbing 3.7% change, vs. miniscule ones for the rest -

so 215/55-16 - Toyo A05
or 225/55-16 - Toyoa FZ4

go with the toyos, they are good tires. i dont think u need the fz4's though. why did you get a 60 series tire?

tommyBoi

Cuz I'm a dumbass - I went by factory size

You should know I'm a dumbass by now dBox, c'mon

Oh well - It's weird - only the rear left rubs

So - should I be ok with 215/55/16

The A05's?

Thanks d

your no dumb ass! i think you should be ok with the ao5's. alot of guys here go for all out performance tires, i dont think you need that. you should be able to sell your 60 series rubber to a local used tire shop or maybe the place you get your new ones from takes trades.
good luck bro

Well - My factorys were worn out - since I want bigger wheels next year, I didn't want to buy brand-new tires, so i found the 225's Goodyears used for 100bucks with like half tread left.

The same guy has the Toyo's too - like half tread, he's gonna let me bring them back (GY'rs) and as long as there's no damage) there isn't - he's gonna swap me.

So phewww...
lol
that woulda sucked, i gotta drive like a friggin old woman otherwise so it wont rub
