Hi guys, I currently have a 2005 Spectra5 with the 16" rims.
I deliver pizza in it, I put about 30k - 40k miles per year.
The current tires on the car are 205/50/16. I do have an issue with every single tire I have purchased (new and used) developing bubbles in the side wall. I also have go through 2 new tires, with out doing burn outs or hitting curbs/debris, in about 2 months.
So 2 questions here.
1 - I have heard that having a "low profile" tire increases the chances of developing bubbles from pot holes and such. If I went to a tire a little bigger would it solve the issue? I'm thinking somethink like 225/60/16.
I do not care if it affects the speedometer.
Also I have noticed that the slightly bigger size is more common, and cheaper.
2 - I need a high mileage tire with decent to very good wet traction. I work/live in Florida. I drive alot. I want something that I dont have to worry about within the year.
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
