ok i have the stock 205/70 R15's on my car and i wanted to get a smaller series tire because it looks like i have mud boggers on there now. What ones would would work without messin with the speedo to bad and would help the handeling out. also what do you recommend for tires. all the tires i buy have a way of disappearing in 6 months.

Firestone Indy 500 235 60 15's are what I run and have run 245 60 15's. They run about $70-75 a tire. They leave more space between the tire and the fender well if you can live with that. Would look perfect if I had a .75-1" drop. (Maybe I'll put my springs on one of these days.) Definately not as tall as stock and a little wider. Not as much flex in the sidewall of the tire so allows for a little better cornering. Speedo reads 2-3 mph slow at 70mph.
