So,
For years I have run 205/50 tires on my car, on Fuchs. This year I have decided that I would like to run the tallest (close to stock) and fattest tire I can get in there. I like the width of the 205/50, but I want the taller tire for ride comfort, fill out the wheel well better, and for highway cruising without over revving my motor...which the short tires do very well, thank you. So, is my choice just 195/60 15, or can I get fatter tall tires? Stock pulled fenders, lips rolled over already... Happy to pull them out a bit more if needed...I am not shy about that. No hammer/dolly work will happen on this round. Rich |
