Have to have new rear tire recommendations

UNCLE JESSE said:

Well the Falken ZE 502- 245/50/16 has a belt broke in the surface side walls are in great shape one side tread surface a place about the size of my hand bubbled up have to put on new tire would like to have recommendations on what everybody is having good luck with. Did not have but in about 5000 miles on this one am shipping back to the manufacturer but I am sure they will say wrong application and void any type of warranty. Was thinking about going to a 225 the tire I had seems like it's hard to get now made for older version Camaro

The 225/55/16 is the closest to the stock 240/50/16 in diameter without being smaller. It corrects the speedo only slightly.

The Riken Raptor ZR has served everyone that I know of very well. I'm about to mount my 2nd after 28k miles on the first.

I have not been able to find The Riken Raptor ZR with out ordering them out of state and waiting two weeks it looks like my best to choices are a Dunlop DZ 101 or a Hankook Ventus v4es. I can have either one of these the next day, I had 245/50/16 I am going with the smaller size 225/55/16 another thing I am looking at is hydroplaning both of these tires have real good water handling ratings it seems like every time we take a long trip we end up in a flood some where. I believe Rainman cursed me "LOL" I was wondering if anybody has had experience with either one of these tires ?
