i would suggest going to independent tire shops or mechanic shops, they usually have tires to get rid of. they have to pay to get rid of them so theyll be happy to give em to you or sell very cheaply.

stock size is 195/x/15 i believe

im using 195/60/15

i got 50% tread potenza re950s for 10 bucks each. been using them for almost a year, good deal

i went to ecology here in oceanside and they charge me $60 for 4 descent stock tires for my 240.

stock size is 195/55/15

the tire shops i used to hit up, would be like $40-45 for a good 17 or 18 each... usually you can look through their tires and find gold.. Then i have friends who tell me they score all 4 tires for less then 100.. i guess it depends on the shops..

stock tire size should be posted on the door jam or the glove box. and i believe the stock size is 195/60-15, opt size 205/60-15

dont go to a tire shop, go to a dealer and scrum around. tire shops are stingy and will try to sell them to you. regular dealers dont really care, because they'd rather you take them for free than them pay $2-4 a tire for disposal. just dont make a mess of the tires. that will make people not like you.

On topic: What is the factory offest on S13 rims?

i cant speak for every dealer, but the dealer i work at has to pay to dispose of tires

so they will give them away to whomever will take them.

as far as junkyards. around here $30 a pair is about going rate.

stock tire size is 195/60/15 not 55 side wall
optional size is 205/60/15

offset is +40 i think, if not +45
