Re: Tire size
Sorry, i want to buy new tires. Must i go white wall? Does the size diff from the axles? To what extend can the back wheels be "bended" so that it looks like lazyboy squad? Maybe 10 degrees?

Re: Tire size
having different sizes on the front and back doesnt matter.
I used to run 195/50/15 in the front with 195/60/15 at the back and love the stance that it gives. Handling was also pretty good with the nose down.
Those were the days before digital cameras. so dont ask for a photo

Re: Tire size
now get a gps and figure out what speed you are really doing as your speedo will be wrong
mine was in MPH, which made it easy. I multiplied by 1.5 to get the correct speed (instead of 1.6).
