Nice! Now get some tire shine on those bad boys!

you should have installed the splash gaurds while the wheels were off. They look great, I love the 245's

 

[swoop1156]

You have an '06 with the 7" wheels and not 7.5", correct? The 245's look and fit better than I thought they would. I figured they would cup more being on a thinner wheels. Looks great and I'm sure it sticks to the road better, as well!

Why? Those are one of those personal taste items. I personally hate them and would never put them on a Fusion/Milan.

Thanks guys. Tire shine is gonna have to wait until the temps a little higher.

 

[swoop1156]

So come ON already! How's she drive?!

Damn, I need those splash guards. Anyone notice the amount of salt and grime that gets on your fusion. Its as if they designed it to get dirty.

 

[swoop1156]

Does it look like you have some negative camber?

 

[captainhook]

Those look like great winter tires :lol:

They look great! I wish that I lived in a climate that I could get away with a good set of summer tires.

how far off is the speedo. that is the only reason i went with stock size on the new rims was i did not want my speedo off.

 

[swoop1156]

If your speedo get's off, all the more reason to get a tuner!

$500 is a lot of money for a tuner

 

[hwm3]

The speedo is still accurate since these maintain the same overall height as the stock tires.

Sorry swoop, I can't really tell you much other than the ride isn't much firmer than with the OE tires. It'll be next week before I can tell you anything about the overall grip, especially since it's snowing outside right now.

was 'bout to say the same thing as swoop did bout the overall height thing... I'm going 20" strong and my speedo will be dead on.

Comment..

hwm3, is your car lowered at all? I love the all-around fit of those tires, and the space between the wheel and fender. I am really going to buy these tires if your car has stock ride height.

 

[swoop1156]

I know that his car IS lowered, but I cannot recall with which springs. I want to say H&R? It could also be Eibach.

That's a good looking tire. I havn't ever seen Hankook like that. Only performance ones I've seen are the factory Hankooks on the Lightnings. Me likey!
