The link you posted didn't show a tire?


I used Kumho Powerstar 758...165/80-15.. but a lot of internet sites have them backordered. Check out a local tire store though... mine came from Gateway, but I think they are normally down here in the south.

Just today I changed from my Weld 15 x 3.5's with Pep Boys 165/80/15's to Weld 15 x 5's with a 205/70/R15 tire on the front. The difference is night and day with handling and the car still has a fat's and skinnies look to it. I will post all the details with pictures in a separate thread.

Here's the tire that I put on the 15 x 5's

I just ordered the 275-50-15 rears and for the front I also bought the kumho power stars 165/80-15. I paid $36.80 apiece for the kumhos from tires-easy.com got them in about 6 days.
