Oversized Tire Selection S70

posted by  someone claiming to be "Treadless", in Northern Virginia on  Thu Dec 4 03:30 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hello,
I was out surfing the web looking for tire selection information when I ran across this site. I'm not very good at bulletin boards, and it appears I proved that again early this morning when I tried to post this question. Since its been a couple hours, and I don't see it listed, I'm trying again. Please excuse me if it appeared somewhere other than the S70 postings.

My S70 has 195/60x15's stock. I'm ready to replace the factory rubber and want to go with a slightly larger tire. I know I can fit 205/60's in the wheel wells, but I'm not sure about 215/60's. The 215's are only 1/2" wider, but 1" larger in diameter. I think the 1" diameter increase is going to prevent me from going with the 215's. (I did try calling the local dealer, but they didn't have a clue.) If anyone has gone with or has any knowledge on oversized tire selections, I'd love to hear from you.
Thank you,
Rich - Ashburn, VA
