    Default Tyre choices in a 235/55 R15

    I'm considering replacing my standard 15x6" rims, with the larger 15x7" rims to accomodate a move to a tyre width of 235 for a bit better grip.

    Now, considering it's a bit more different of a size, I need choices in tyres. I'm currently running the P6000 on 215/60 R15 and they're pretty good, so I wouldn't mind something similar

    Would you guys happen to know the approximate prices per tyre aswell?

    People are too obsessed with how much "power" their car makes....it doesn't make power, it produces torque, from which this mythical "power" figure is calculated.

    Just a suggestion. The sidewall bulge/ height having a 235 high profile tyre on a 15x7 inch rim will be pretty bad, will handle like jelly. a mate has new 225/60 on a 15x6 and the tyres slowly deflate over a few weeks. I suspect the bead doesnt sit properly.... and his car handles really soft even with 40 pound in the tyres

    I would have to agree with RUF 231 on this

    I got interceptors in the hope of running 225's rear but then I realised it is a lot better just on 205's plus the price difference between the 2 is amazing. Also you will not really gain much in 2 inches as the sidewall bulge makes up for it.
