Ok I have stock 7th gen gts rims and I was wondering what tires other ppl had and how well they work. I have found a deal on some Nitto Neo Gen 205/50/16.

i have falken ziex ze 512's and i love them. presure2 and jdog1385 are two others i know of with them and they like them as well. they are quiet, handle great on dry and wet, and they are a good value. i got mine from tires.com for $69 a tire if i remember right.
just took this pic today, and i can tell you first hand they worked great in the snow  . (these are 205-50-16's as well) great looking tread design too

I put my old Michelin's on the front that are waaay bald for some fun and even with like no tread they get better traction than the new tires. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
