i love my stock 15" rims - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #33359 12 posts Started by My2Celi
I wana keep my 15" but whats the best tire size for it? i know the stock tires are 205/55/15 but is there another tire size that makes it look like low profile but not? i wana comfortable ride, but also making my rims look clean.

Stocks are good, you can drop to 205/50-45/15. That will be lower profile. If you just get a good tire with sticky rubber and a strong sidewall, you'll be fine.

i have those same tires, have worked great in the snow and rain. they also are very quiet, great value in my opinion. what size did you end up getting? i agree, if i had a GT, i wouldnt have bought wheels. i think 215-50-15 would be the best option for you if your looking for a slightly lower profile look without increasing the wheel gap too much, or altering drive ration too much either. ze-512 doesnt come in 215-50-15 though. however i would get 225-50-15's. brother has that size and it looks nice.

some numbers i plugged into 1010tires.com's tire size calculator

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
ive had 4 sets of the falkens (used to be 502's now 512's) and love them.
good tire for a decent price.

i had bfgoodrich KDW 2's and they were amazing. I think they were sencond best in dry handling (bfgoodrich kDs are the the best) and best in wet handling for street tires. but i need a good all season tire so i Toyo Poxes 4's, i like them but miss the KDW2's
