    Default New Tyres

    Recently bought a VN which has P185/75 R14 tyres on it. One of them is a bit bald so I'm thinking about getting new ones on the rear. I find the back end slides around a lot and it's like trying to drive on an ice rink when its wet. Do you reckon I would get much extra grip if I got 215's instead?

    I am not 100% on this, but i think if you try and go to 225's on a 14 inch rim, they will cost you more than on a 15 inch rim...am i right anyone?

    THe 15inch prices are slightly different but very little like $3 depends on the tyre.
