My Rim/Tire Choice, along with winter tires (PICS ADDED!)
Ok so what i've decided is on this:
17x7.5 Konig Feathers in gold
wrapped in 225/45/17 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT
and Hankook Winter iPike W409 for the stock wheels (the reviews on the tires seem pretty good (plus the tread design is pretty agressive kinda like the BFG's which i like)
what do you guys think, they will be goin on my 06 FM tC and for suspension im upgrading to H&R Coilovers with the H&R rear sway bar. all happening in t-minus 2 weeks

good tire choices.
For dry conditions(spring/Summer) I went with BFG G-force sports(Z-rated). about $120 for a 225/45/17 vs. $144 for the same tire size BFG TA NT(your tire choice)
For wet/cold/possible icy conditions(fall/winter) I went with Hankook Icebear W300
The Icebear W300's were recommended to me by a discount-tire direct salesman as being the most up-to-date/advanced winter tire available... and hands down the best performing overall(bad conditions and/or decent conditions since they are H-rated tires , and the I-pike + Michelen X-ice(Q-rated?? I believe) tend to become very "spongy" when conditions outside are not so terrible(ie. between 45-55 degrees , and plesent outside... just a bit cool/crisp).
I take it, you live where there is bad/poor weather for 6-8+ months of the year ??
