  1. The Continental Pro Contacts that came on the van give great pavement performance but.................... This is my driveway at camp and if it rains , the procontacts really show their SUCK and just sit and spin . Snow in the winter was/is about the same , not much TRACTION . So I found these , that are a Mud and Snow tire Continental Extreme Contact DWS The reviews on them are really good as far as winter traction goes so I gave them a shot . I went with the 225 / 55/ ZR16 with a 95w load rating . They are just a bit wider and taller than the OEM tire . Fits fine but does fill the front wheel well . no rubs and enough clearance all around . Will report more on traction when I have "tested them further" But the ride quality is definately better than the OEM's , a few decibels louder at hiway speed but barely noticeable . Now onto the wheels , Motegi MR116 in Black with red stripe. 16 x 7's .........a half inch wider than OEM 5 x 4 1/4 (108mm) and a 5x 4.5 bolt circle on each rim , That means they work on Mustangs , Rangers , Focus , fusion Transit Connect etc. etc. They have a 40 mm offset and fit perfectly . only thing is you need to use smaller diameter "TUNER lug nuts " The van now loks pretty sharp even with the FROZEN WHITE delivery van paint job .
