If you have TCS try to get within a 1/4" in height diff or you will throw a TCS code. I run a 185 up front and a 295 in the rear. If you don't have TCS you can get away with a 165 up front (volkswagen size).

165r15 p-metric street radial here. Don't know of the brand, I always just called it a P-Metric and they knew what I was talking about. You should be able to get them at Gateway tires if you have one. Last I head though, these tires are becoming hard to find.

How can you tell if you have the "Traction control system" ?
