Okay, I am tired of trying to find what I am looking for in the old threads. I need new tires for Betsy and I run 205/50/15 on my other teeners. I am afraid this will have her sitting too low for the towbar brackets that I have drug a few times already with 195/60/15s. Front struts are shot and bottomed out so new struts will probably stop that but I want a wider tire without going too low profile. I have decided to just keep her as a street driver and no ax so what say the masses? Which tire size would you suggest? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

OK Now we have
165/80 R15 185/70 R15 185/65 R15 195/65 R15 205/60 R15 If you are looking for economy and regular street driving then is the 185/65 R15 a good size? |

All, what impact do these various sizes have on the speedometer readings? Which size, (of sizes that are commonly available), would have the least impact on the speedometer? thx, Turk |
