Running std 215/45 till they wear out. It will do for now but I wouldn't recommend it as a preferred option. The stretched side walls over the 8 inch rims make the car feel like it's running 50psi at 38psi. The handling it very twitchy as a result of the complete lack of sidewall movement. I'm having fun with it though.
Looking good Tom
