Tires?
I need some tires for my car to get me threw the winter. I am able to get some cooper tires with about 50% of tread left on them for free. The size thats suppose to be on my car is 215/65/15. The tires that i can get are 205/60/15. I know they will go on the car with no problem. But how much will they throw my speedo off
I don't know if i should be asking it here, but i hope you guys will know. Thanks

It won't mess with your speedo. Ive run them on my Camaro.. Are they studded. I never have any problems with my camaro is the winter just have you standard tire in the front and some good studded winter tires in the back.. I used winter trax. I actually have a set with less than 50 miles on them. The car was broke down all winter last year and I never used them.

They are opposit of what I just said, opps. The ones suppose to be on my car are 215/60/15 and the ones i got are 205/65/15. So i should be all set. No they are Cooper Lifeliner (touring SLE) They were free so why not right? They have about 50% of tread left too. So they should get me threw the winter along wiht some weight
What ya think? Thanks

That is a very useful link. Bookmark it a dozen times in different folders.
I like how you can see and compare the two sizes from two angles and it gives you an idea on MPH changes.
