| Well it's about time I get some new rubber...
I'm looking to give my wagon a little bit jacked up in the rear and lower in the front...
Question being is what tire sizes in the front and rear will help me accomplish this?
I'm working with 15" rims...
Thanks... | |

| Do you care about your ABS systen because thats what kept me from going with a set of big and littles?With 15 inch I would use 275/60s on the rear and 235/60s on the front! |

Yes and no lol... I honestly use the wagon if I'm cruising with the family or take friends out and about for adult beverages lol... I also just read up on the Moog CC623's, how has everyone liked em so far? I was thinking go with bigs and littles with CC623's, any thoughts? | |

| You could use wide tires all around and cut 1/2 coil off of the front for your rake.
I have a lot of drop on the front, but have the same diameter tires all around. 205-75-15s on the front and 255-60-15s on the rear. they are and inch shorter than stock, so that lowers the car a little. I have 2 inch drop spindles on the front. A word of advice if you decide to use srop spindles, either get run-flat fronts or use 17 or 18 inch rims to give you a safety factor, so that end of your shock does not hit the ground, if you have a flat.
You may still be able to get a set of Firehawks. They are closing them out, and pricing them to move. | |

I still want to go with the new springs and considering I work at a parts warehouse I should be able to get these on the cheap... I hope lol... | |

For now. Once they get enough orders they're going to do another run. Plus, there's always BFG T/A's - Fred Kiehl wrote:

| What are the points of magic in the Firehawks? Something other than a specific appearance? | |

Pretty much it I suppose. That and from what other B owners have told me they're much better than Radial T/A's. That said, I love my 500's. They're great in the rain and very smooth on the highway. Quiet too. | |
