Topic title says it all. I have no flares,I'm going to install ATS classic wheels and I was wondering what size tires will fit. I want to go with 195/60-15's. What tires are you guys using? Thanks in advance for any input. Best I can tell the offset of the ATS classics is the same as the stock wheels I'm taking off so any input is appreciated.

195/65-15 would actually be the closest to the original fitment tire diameter if that matters to you.

I'd check with Tire Rack to see who makes the tires in the size you'd like as 15" sizes are getting fewer and fewer in number when you're looking for performance tires.

I purchased new tires today for the new 73 I just bought. I did some research on this with Discount Tire and Tire Rack.

Went with 195/65/15 Yokohama AVID Ascend (T-Speed Rated) Standard Touring All-Season. Yokohama has a rebate cash card with dropped it down $60.00. Under $400.00 fully installed with lifetime balance.

These are fairly new for Yokohama and are asymmetrical tires (No worries about snow here in Texas). For the green crowd, these are said to be made of orange peel oil, which is more earth friendly. :confused

Not sure if these are the best choice. After looking at all the options, I was zoning out.
