Andy......


I'm not sure if you can find 285/50-15's anymore. I think Pirelli was the only manufacture of that size.

On my C2, I am running 225 on the front 8's and 255's on the rear 9's.
(17's)

In fact, finding tires wider than 225's in a 15 rim is getting harder and harder.

You might want to step up to 16's...
