Looking for new tires
Hi everyone,
I am looking to replace my original tires 195/55/R16 now that I got around 26k on them. I want to switch to Non-runflat tires.
I drive mostly on city street and freeways with the occasional motoring on country roads (gotta have fun)
I live in California, so I dont' see snow here. I assume summer tires will be the way to go.
Also, if I switch to non-run flat tires, do I have to do anything special to the wheel or do the tires just get installed on them.

Nothing special needs to be done, just ask the installer if they can handle run-flat removal. It's more difficult than regulars. You'll find lots of opinions on tires if you go through the Tire forum. I'm happy with my Nokian Zs that I got a couple weeks ago.
Also, you won't find much if you ask for the original size. There is much more to pick from in 205/50/16 and they work just fine.
