    Hey guys, I got a smokin' good deal on a set of General UHP tires yesterday, only problem is they are 205/55R16. I have been told this size is too small and will cause my ABS to act up? Has anyone else ran this size of tire?

    This is where you obviously have an attitude issue.

    I ran this size tire last winter (winter tires) as they were free. they work fine but your speedo will be way off, and they spin reallly easily just so you know.

    Aside from speedo issues, you will have to run the pressure pretty high to compensate for the smaller size tire versus the weight of our GPs. Since I've run my GPs with 225/60/16 at 32 psi and gotten 50-60K miles out of each set of tires, you probably have to run those 205/55/16s at 35 psi or higher. But the max cold pressure rating is probably 35 psi. They will ride pretty hard.

    Thank you for the usefull information, I think I will just sell the 205/55r16's and get the proper tire for my Grand Prix!

I have a house,family, 2 dogs and a 2 acre yard that needs constant attention as well as 4 vehicles to maintain. So you just go back to shining/moding up your little GTP or whatever the heck you have and hush!
