Brickers:

So the snows on my brick are shot and its time to get a new set. Yeah, I know, there are few subjects with more opinions than tires. However, I've been looking artound for awhile, and after a bunch of research I've decided to go with either the Gislaveds or the Nokian Hakkapelitas. I'm leaning towards the latter based on some of the opinions I've heard, and the price to performance seems pretty nice as well.

Anyway, since I'm getting four new tirees I figured I'd get something larger than the normal 195/60r15 I've purchased in the past. I bought some used 15" oem rims for my brick and they had a set of Firestone 205/60/15's on them. Is that the largest size I can put on the existing volvo rims? Not looking for some honkers, just want to get the reasonably largest tire I can for my rims.

And anyone know a good source for teh Nokians? I visited tire rack but they don't seem to carry them anymore...?

thanks,
rt
