Stock 15" rim: Good SUmmer/Wet tire?

I looked on here and search the net does not seem to be too many 15" size tires that are not all season.

I live in FLorida and although not looking to drive in wet weather. I know I will have flash rain to deal with and ultra summer tires with wet treads to me are the safest for these roads.

Anyone find a good 15" tire maybe with white letters for their iroc?

Mine is 88 iroc LB9 with the stock 15" rims

I guess if I find set of 16" iroc (which are hard to find it seems) some want $400+ for them for that price or close too it I can get replica 17-18" that are new and chrome.

Re: Stock 15" rim: Good SUmmer/Wet tire?

your options for a raised white letter tire are very limited, but I think The BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires are still available from tire rack

for black walls, I've been very happy with the Touring T/A's that I bought for my 15" wheels. I think those are only available at sams

Yes the T/A I can get. But there tread I hear is poor especially in wet weather. I live in florida with lots of rain and wet roads.

I want a ultra summer tire. I can live with no white letters but still would like perf. tire. Seems 195/55/15 is only size I see.
