Re: tires..

205/75R15 is the actual specified size for that car, not 215.

Re: tires..

oh really. the reason i asked is because right now my car has 215/75/15 on them but the back 2 are bald in spots and the front to are brand new pretty much. and well my car kinda has a shake to it when it gets over 55 mph.

these vehicles were designed to use 205 and 215 tires I purchased my vehicle new ,,,with the optional 215 tires...this is a better tire...because of larger size...it can handle a heavier load and gives a better ride..


mixing tire sizes is not recommended...just ask the tire shops....

Re: tires..
