shipping was 45 bucks, the main factor is my buddy is a manager at a discount, so i go them for 75 each, installation was free, i get free road hazard, free lifetime rotation and ballance...

I have them now for a month in 205/55/15. Grip is really good, they seem to be wearing well, and they have a very smooth breakaway. I wish i went for a smaller sidewall though because it throws of my speedo 5% and hurt accelleration a bit as well as amplifying the effect of the worn stock shocks.

true but get the 225's you have a 7 inch or wider rim. you wont be sorry my wet performance with these tires was equal to better than my dry grip with the oe rubber. Anyway you go they are wonderfull tires mine have about 14K miles on them and look like they'll last atleast till 37-40K miles the way i drive. Wich is cool cause past 2 years rubber gets hard anyway. good luck.

yup BF GF sport, 205/40 r16.. Love the tight traction... not a big fan of how much ruffer they are than the 205/50s i has on before... but a lot better handling i will say that.. and no vibration.. the old tires had gotten flat spotted, and vibrated like a son of a bitch. These tires being 40's and not 50's are smaller in diameter so it has changed my gearing a bit.. but im liking it..
