I'm not trying to make fun of you or anything, but i have the 15x8 rims and
they came with the goodyear 235x70x15. I think the size yours came standard
with is the 215??? prove me wrong, but that's my opinion.....

PS. if you wanna get a 60 series tire, you have to ge new rims, otherwise,
your speedometer will be all messed up. not excessively, but it calculates
out to about an inch of total diameter.. (again i think) because if you bought
for instance a 16 inch tire, for the same gear ratio, you'd wanna buy a 60
series tire, but if you wanted to goto a 17 inch, you'd need a 50 series
tire. It'd be the exact same thing as have a 15 inch rim with a 70 series
tire.. am i making sense? or am i stupid?
