what is the best tires in P215/65R15 and P235/65R15?

I was going to buy firestone indy 500 but they are sold out. the guys at my local firestone are idiots

 

I like 225/60/15s, they look allot wider [on the car] but aren't.

great visual aid , put on end view

mickey thompson s/ts are the best "affordable" tires for 15 inch rims

 

i dont think that is just the local firestone guys...

they just had a sale on those out here, and they were also sold out wtf?!

i just put kumhos on mine, not sure if they have them in your size, but i love them so far.

 

what do you recomend for a tire?

 

they have been sold out for 2 months nation wide .
no they quoted me for the tires and when i go to order the tires they have none in stock and cannot give me the road hazzard because they have to put on the tires in order for me to get the road hazzard. i work on my own car and only a few mechanics touch my KITT. if i cant do it my self.

 

First I had a set of Dunlop SP Sport 5000s [not made anymore]
great in all conditions

Now I got some Fuzion HRIs and they got great tread and grip well.


put a set on the back of my V8 car and was very impressed on how much power they will plant to the ground in the rain and snow.

 

205/70/15 are also very close to stock

 

I was thinking about fuzions +kohmos + bfgoodrich

 

got some Kohmos on our Subaru, they are nice, don't like BFG TA or good year GT, done them when I had a 2nd gen, only looked cool.

 

how bad were the BFGoodrich and Goodyear GT's?

 

on anything but nice dry pavement, they sucked.
But were the tire of the time, and they have not changed any all these years.

like if someone still made the 1970 Pinto, is a reason it went away, so should those tires but for a vintage look on a show only car.........

 

that sounds like my kelly tires never buy kelly tires they suck

 

If money was no object, id always buy the best of the best Dunlop has but I can't do that. Those SPs I got lucky and got them under $100 each and was making good money then. Little easier on my motorcycle since I only need two. But its Dunlop for it also.

When buying 4 tires, it can be hard to sped $130-150+ on each tire, plus road hazzards n all the rest, stuff adds up quick.

 

are your tires 15 or 16 inch ?

 

what size was yours

 

15 of course

 

I finaly got the Firestone Indy 500 tires in 215/65R15. the manger did me a favor and searched hi and low for me.

 

I know,,, it's an old post, but I just bought a set of Indy 500- 235/60/15 for my IROC. I paid 435.00 which is a pretty good price.

 

how in hell did yuo get those in that size ? we need photos!

the indy 500s i have handle great in the rain!

i got mine for $375 with road hazzard

 

I'll take pics sometime sometime. I just called the firestone dealer and asked about tires of course. I had a choice between indy or primewell for 100 less I sprang for the indy's.

 

good choice dude ill take some too
