What's the general opinion on these 205/65/15 tires on Fuchs.....are they to big? I like the vintage appearance but do they look out of place?

When I went to 205/65/15 the fronts rubbed when near full lock turning, which was almost every day on my curved driveway entrance. So, I bumped up the ride height, which messed up the alignment, which wore through my tires on the outside edges, which resulted in them being rotated every other month and lasting 10 months.

I am now on low-rolling resistance commuter tires at 195/65/15 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I haven't had any real problem with the 205's. I'm using Sumitomo's, made in Japan. Joe |
