Hey guys, I'm running stock Pedrinis with 165SR15 tires. The tires are all leaky, and deflate within days of inflating. so new tires are in order. I want to get the biggest, best tires that I can fit in a stock wheel configuration (no fender roll).
I'm thinking about 195/65HR15s. Will these fit? Do you have any better recommendations? I heard 205's will occassionaly not fit, so I don't want to bother with having to return the tires if they don't fit. To my naked eye, the wheels seem to have a slight negative camber. Edit: Oh and by the way, does anyone know what the aspect ratio of the 165SR15 Michelin XZX tires are? So I can calculate speedo accuracy. |

The 195/65-15s should work very well. The original tire "aspect ratio" was somewhere between 78 and 82, depending on which authority you ask. The Tire Rack lists 195/65 as being "nearest equivalent" to the overall rolling diameter of 165R15 tires. Or at least, they did... I can't find that page on their site any more!!!
