Tire question

I am interested in a set of BF Goodrich G-force TA KDW's, I know our stock tires run 215/65/R15, but I was wondering if we could squeeze a 205/50/R15 on to our stock 15 rim? If thats not a possiblitly can anyone suggest a decent performance tire that will fit. My front tires are terrrible, and the ride is unbearable. Plus the handling is the pits from these tires. Any feedback would be appreciated.

If your interested in the KDWs, try out the G-force Sports, they come in a 225/60/15 size, would fit your rims well, and as for the 205/50/15, I dont think that will work, thats really skinny. The sports are nice, and they are less expensive than the KDWs, yet they share some of the same design advantages.

Just get some 16" wheels, a good set of 245/50/16 will make you car handle great

I use 205's on my car in the winter on the stock rims without any problems but extreme traction loss then the 255/50 Datona's go back on for the summer
