I am in need of new tires and know how difficult it is to find 15" tires w/a decent speed rating-especially ones that match. I also know that the idea of the mixing of tires is controversial. I am not ready to take the $4000 leap for new wheels/tires as I'd rather put the cash towards body/paint first. I really just need something that will perform decently for awhile until I get to the wheels.
I have read about the Mickey Thompson Sportsman SRs in 26X12.00R15 and maybe Yokohama adavans in the front? Does anyone have this combo or another combo of front/rear tires that they have been comfortable with? The car has euro TAs on it nowm, 265/50HR/15 and 225/50HR/15s with almost new tread-but the sidewalls have cracked due to cold weather storage which makes me uncomfortable driving on them. I know the BFG TAs are available but have not heard anything great of their performance. Thanks in advance...
