Dont Laugh 15inch rim
Saturday, April 16, 2005 5:02 PM
I would love to get 225/45/17 to make it sharp. but its not pratical. I drive 20,000 plus miles a year and I need tires that last and dont cost much. I would like to get after market rims and bigger tires than the 195/65/15 just not sure what tire size to upgrade. I can only spend between 60 and 75 per tire. Those 17's would cost double that and probably last less than the year. I am thinking of either a 205/60/15 cost is 68 for a set of Khumos. I saw 205/50/15 cost was like 98 for Goodyear, but a little to short. So i guess i am looking at a 205/60/15 or 215/60/15 or maybe even a 215/50/15. The later depending on the price. But which one of three or a certain 15 will fill the wheel as nice as possible. TIA Oh thinking of hyper black MR7 rims.

you can find the same kuhmos probably for the same price or relatively the same price as the 15's. search harder.

ps - the 712's wear quickly.

17" tires are not that expensive. I got a set of Falkens 205/45/17 for $350. The wear was pretty good.
