Reply to "215/60 15 Front Tires?"

bobhudsonMember

Finally got tires on my car and since George had mentioned I'm posting pics to show comparison between the original front 225/50-15 on 8" and the new 215/60-15 on 7" wheels. Never thought 1.2" more dia. would appear so much different.

First impression is that it handles better with the wider track although I have only driven a few miles and need to check and adjust the ride height and get full alignment and I suppose fresher rubber helps as well. George help, I've seen but can't find factory spec's on the forum for bumper height but know the important thing is the front/rear attitude or car level position. Seems I need to lower it a bit now.

With the 215's on 7" wheels the tire bulge is comparable to that on the rear tires now where the 225/50 on 8's hardly had any bulge.

Apparently my camera setting is incorrect as I seem to be getting "fish eye" effect on my pics.
