Re: 15' tire size..

you can check on the door jamb , driver's side . should have the factory size there . that is if it has not been removed , i think 215's are stock ( not sure ) just get a good quality tire for dry/wet conditions . tires are your contact with mother earth .

Look closer.
They are 215/65/15.
They were also had with 235/60/15 with the TPI 305.
