I've been looking at the same tires. I think a bunch of folks have them on their stock rims and I think they are using 225/55/r16. Let me know if thats correct. I want to get them bad and I have a friend who has them on his Lexus GS400 and they look sweeet.

I've had them about 4 months and I love them, not are they only great in the rain, the dry and just about anything else, they look great on the car. You can't beat it for the money. There is a little more noticible road noise, to be expected when going from a 60 series to a 45 series tire...

Guys, if my ride is stock everything. By just changing to 225/55/r16 on stock rims, will it look funny, you know like lifted? And does it even fit on stock rims? Thanks.

hey mikes, i'm thinkin of trying kumho 712s next. they look even sweeter and cost less, but proably not as good at the 730s.

I also have the Kumho's and would highly recommend them. They handle great dry or wet and you can't beat the price.

I've been holding off on buying these (RE730 225/55/16) for a while due to the compalints about the noise. Can anyone who has these tires confirm the the noise level?

i feel that they are less noisy then the stock tires, but maybe its all the wind at the high speed thats making it impossible to hear the tires ... seriously though, they are not at all noisy. its something that if you do decide to pay close attention to, u wont notice after a day of driving.
