Choosing tires on stock tires - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #90367 7 posts Started by 1994whitecelicag...
Hi everyone! I am looking for new tires for my stock wheels. But due to our size (205/55/15), it is hard to find any choices. Are there other sizes that we could put on these wheels? A size that would have more options? Thanks!

I would stick to that size personally, because changing tyre size (without changing rim size) will affect the gearing and hence performance of your vehicle. Yokohama make S Drives in 205/55R15 I believe.... tongue.gif

Haha, well I guess I probably should just stick with the stock size. I have asked tire shops and they don't recommend it at all. But with 205/55R15, I can only chose from bf goodrich, bridgestone, or yokohama. I'll probably go with the Yokohama!

I'm running 195/65/15. No clearance issues, and my mileage went up 2mpg. Also much cheaper and fills out the wheel well better.
Falkens have them too. I have been using them for the past 3 years and on my 2nd set of stock 205 55 15 ziex912.

I have thought of going on 65 profile and narrower tires. That would be better for a snow tire but I agree with the looks. I would just be a PITA when you take off your bumper for I may not be able to squeeze in my arms to get those bolts off tongue.gif

God made man....Everything else...Made in China
Dunlop makes 205/55/15 from tire rack. I just bought tires from them.480 shipped to my house
No, not really. I can still get all my bumper bolts and I have negative gap right now.
