Ok guys, I'm getting hysterical here!! I need some 295/50r15 tires. NO shop around here has any. Summit has ONE of each brand! I was calling around today and one shop said they had 16 IN THERE SHOP!!!!! I immediately got excited. He then told me they were for luxury/sport suv. I searched the tire on the internet and have found people using them on 300c's and new chargers. They have a very good feedback on wear and traction and they have a Z speed rating!
So, would there be any reason not to use them?

Are they an all terrain type tread? If they have a highway tread I would think they would be fine. If they would work on a truck they should be fine on a car. What brand are they?

Is it the Khumo? They are listed online as a Truck/SUV/Muscle car tire:

I'm going to go check them out soon, he says he has a few brands in stock. I emailed him last night on which vehicles they were popular for and this morning he responded "Alot of the lightning and srt-10 ram guys like them. I have also sold them to some mustang, charger, and magnum guys to name a few."

I'm thinking he might have the size wrong, All of the vehicles you have listed have 17" + wheels on them. Beter double check.
