Been looking at Tire Rack for some tires for the spyder. Sumitomo has 175/55/14 and 225/50/15. Has anyone put on a full set of aftermarket tires yet? These are the only ones I can find in the same brand of tires. I know Bridgestone makes some for the front, but not the rear. Kumho makes a rear, but no front tires. Cost for the Sumitomo is 82.00 rear, and 52.00 front each.

I've only had stock, but have just ordered the BFGoodrich GForce for the rear. I intend to keep the stock front ones for now. Bridgestone's is only rated S - which is not as high as H and I'll be taking it up that fast at times. I'd worry about the 175's as they might not leave much room on the fenders..
