At the present time I have 250/50 VR 16 Bridgestone RE750's on my 850 turbo wagon - it has the sport suspension, you know the one that shakes the fillings out of your teeth everytime it goes over anything bigger than a small leave! Anyhow, my friendly dealer service writer suggests that next time I get new tires I would best advised to get Michelin Energy MXV Plus (green stripe!)in 250/55. Have any of the experts out there tried these? And would anyone recommend this tire?

    check this link in reference to larger diameter tires; I would not suggest the 55's

      ive had 2 sets of 55s on my 850 with the turbo wheels. Impoves ride greatly although the goodyear ultra grips rubbed a bit. Now i have yokohama AVS db S2s and love em, they dont rub either.
