Need advice on tire brands and size for stock TR

[GNRick]

There are a ton more options at tire rack for stock size 215X65X15 as compared with 235X60X15. Any advice for tire brand and/or size? Put the 215's on front and 235's on rear? Do I want white letters on outside? Here is a pic of my car. Thanks.

I've been thinking 235/60-15 front and 255/60-15 rear. I have 225's all around now and they are way too small.

For a 15" street tire I'd say BFG radial T/A - Blackwall out. Just my preference. Nice T by the way.

That is what I have now. When I bought the rears, the front was sitting up too high due to new springs. Now it seems the springs front and back have settled and the rears actually fill the fender wells too much. So I am looking for more of a stock size tire.

I'm leaning towards that tire. We think alike. Thanks for the compliment. Trunk, roof and hood were painted about three weeks ago and somehow it all blends perfectly with the doors and fenders which have original paint. The shop buffed the entire car. Mileage is 203,000 on original transmission. Maybe this helps http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp?action=submit

This is what I am considering for mine, can you put pics of what it looks like and if you're happy with it.

Other option is just 235/60-15 all around, but worried about traction

I like the MT 6026 235/60/15
They have the white lettering. Only thing is I don't see a 215/60 size for the fronts. 235 will fit all around though.

Largest i got on stock steel rims was 265/50-15 BFG radial T/A,i put them all the way around so i could enter change them ,they'll rub in the front lock to lock,but other then that your a go-cart...
