Tire size on a 89 9000T
Posted by Cort D (more from Cort D) on Wed, 9 May 2001 21:54:26
The roads where we live are getting continually worse, not helped by the
fact that my wife's work is in the country.

We have bent, slightly, 2 rims.

I was contemplating on the next tire change going to a taller sidewall,
stock is 205/55/15, Has anyone ever used a 215/60/15?

My math tells me that this will be about 1.1 inches total, overall,
taller and about 5% more distance covered per revolution.

Has anyone ever gone to this size? I see lots of the older (89 era) with
205/60/15's but was contemplating a little more shock absorption. Any
known clearance problems?
