I got 255/60/15's on the factory rims now. and everything's fine.Thats Y I
asked about 275/60/15's.. Was thinking alittle bit bout putting 255/60/15's
on the front, and 275/60/15's on the back.(IMO this would allow for alittle
better traction, cuz the rear is so light, the weight transfer would be
different, causing better traction, yet I could be wrong).. Tire wear
differs from each Tire Brand. But my Ultra Cheapy Tires, (Kelly Charger
tires) were just fine.other then the zig zaging and other wheel spinning
that was done.
