Help! I need new tires
Monday, July 11, 2005 8:51 AM
I have a '96 Sunfire
and i hate how my back takes of if i corner to hard specially on rainy days. I know thats not all but rigth now i want to get some wider tires without changing my rims.
Right now i have 195/65R15 Goodyear Allegra on it and the stock 15" Pontiac alluminium rims. On of my friends suggested to get some 205/65R15, do u guys think that 215/65R15 might be pushing it to much with the rims i have now?
Would it work ok if i get 2 205/65R15 n the front and 215/65R15 or is it going to look Redneckish???
Thanks!

is there even any tread left on the tires? sounds like they are running bald if you have a problem sliding around

I'm still running on my stock 15's. But my father is a master auto technician at Goodyear (been a tool for about 25 years) and that is what he suggested.

I like the BFG T/A's, I got them on my car now.. speaking of which I need to buy four new ones. I got about 42,000 out of them. I've had this impact break on the side of my tire for about eight months, and no blow out (I hit a heavy curb at a reasonable speed), other than that they are serving me well

Nice dude,
i was going to buy the EXACT same model, but a guy that i work with has a delear acount so he can get me some cheaper ones, they're some new brand that just came up, so i'll go with those cause my funds are limited.
thanks for that tire size, i'll stay with that one 205/60R15
speaking about hiting the curb... last winter i wasn't speeding or anything, i was just driving (but my back takes off a lot so i just controll it by steering) the thing was that that time there was this hot chick waiting at the lights and i forgot that i have to steer and i ended up into a big pile of snow and also hit the curb :S

i was checking out Tirerack.com today and i was looking at those BFGoodrich T/A, and they're decent priced actually, i was going to ask you, those prices are in US dollars right? do u think it's worth it getting it from there???

Yes it's in U.S. currency, and they are very decently priced. Keep in mind you'll have to pay about $40 in S/H also.
