is anybody running this set up? I was running tire sizes and comparing them to the stock total size so the spedo is correct. This size the spedo will read 60 when your actually traveling 60.3. Tire rack sell them for 51 each. If you are running this size could you please take a picture of it.

Lots of people are. Well not lots.

I'll show you some later. Festiva chick is running those atm, so i'll post pics of her(and the car) @ the meet

I was running them. Better acceleration with the lower gearing. Gas mileage goes down as you're in a higher rpm at cruise. Lighter steering, snappier steering response. Lowers the car significantly. Only pic i have with the 50's:

I ran them on the Pimptiva when I had air... And I just put a set on Casper too. I like them a lot! And for the price? Hard to beat.





TireRack will try and sell you another size... I forget what they offered me, but I went with these. I had good luck with them in the past.

God, now I really want to try these! I need to find some nice 13" wheels. Oh and FestivaWES what did you use too make your DIY lip kit looks pretty neat.

front valance on my black festiva came from a front valance off of an older box style s-10 pre 1994.

The rear is from a explorer front valance 90-94

Thanks Guys when I do my Aspire swap I plan on running this set up. i wanted to see how proportional it looks - in the future I may go up to a 14 inch rim but I think the 13 looks sharp.

Wes- I like the look of the valances how did you secure them - pop rivets?

yeah i roll with these on my 3 spoke rims

tire calculator says at 60 your speedo will say 54.8....there is almost 2 inch difference in the size of this tire versus the stock 155/80/12's.

you would need 175/65/13's to be almost exact....when speedo is 60 you are doing 60.5. 185/60/13's get you 60 to 59.9....if they make them
