Its about time for me to pick up some new rubber on my dak. size of them is 255 - 65 - 16. It doesnt seem to be a very easy to find size either. I have Falken STZ/04's right now. I was leaning towards the Hankook Ventus tires. I was wondering if anyone has them on their dak, and what they thought of them. Any other suggestions for tires is helpful too. Thanks

they only carry 2 tires in my size where i live, and they are both goodyear, and i dotn really like either of them. lol

Hankook does make a Ventus model in 255/65 - 16, just not the one i put a link to. Those are the ones i wish i had.

Also, im considering upgrading to some new rims. I might put on some 18's for a couple reasons. I want something bigger, and its about impossible to find tires for the size rim i have now. But for now, im on a limited budget, so new rims right now is out of the question.

This is a pretty dumb question, but oh well.

The tires i have on my rims right now are 255/65 - 16. Can i put on tires of a different width or profile on the same rim?

As long as the new size isn't significantly different you should be okay. My old T-bird came with 215/70R15s but the same rims fit a 205/70 from the factory and I was able to upgrade to 235/60R15s. Your tire store should have some idea how far you can go without having clearance issues or speedometer error.

If you have the 8"wide rims, then you can go to 265/70R16 very easily, as a matter of fact that is what comes on the daks with the tire and handling package.
