I know some use the VW tires but I don't really want to rick my car on those. If they worked out for you then great.
I want to know what people are using for their 3.5x15's tire wise. Sportsmans, khumos and where are you gettign them from at a decent price.

Ive run the 165R15 tire, and have been lucky. This is a good cheap tire, for a VW. But for a 3600lb car, thats different. I think ALONG time ago(before ls1 was a thought) I was tolld this tire really isnt a 15. Its close but its a metric size and will fit. But just cuz it fits dont make it right. Go with a tire made for our cars weight.

So what is the main point of running a 24 or 26 in the front other than looks. Is there any perfoamnce gains from going to either one? Does the 26 feel better on the street, I would think it would.
