it is getting tougher and tougher to find good rubber for a 15 x225 or bigger tire....
i know i should go to a 16.......but i want the big round bulgy side wall look.....
but i want a good compound as well.....z rating would be preferable
but the supply seems to have dried right up....
is there no demand......
think of all the 80s cars that have to re-rim to find tires
how many guys would run a 15 on the road if there was more availibilty

narrow body-sshmarrow body.....i am putting flares on gizmo.......
i have some cool old 7s and 8s bbs mahle rims that i would like to use as my first pick for a set of wheels
i know there are 225s but if 245s where available that is what i would choose for the rear.
but you say the side wall is to unstable on a wide 60 series tire...?
if so are these tires only suitable for old muscle cars that go "fast" for a Quarter mile....
the match i have been recommended is a 225 for the 8s and 205s for the 7s
