stock tire size is 205/60/15, could a 205/65/15 or ever 70 be run, or would that cause rubbing?

anyone have experience with oversized tire? i know it'd whack the speedometer a little bit, but i was just thinking about it for winter, and would like the tiny bit of extra height it'd give me, if it didn't cause any troubles, if it will i'd just stick with 60 profile.

Don't do that. Not worth it for the height. Best winter size is 195/65/15

Default The 65 is fine, but 70 would prob be too much---wallow city as well. I have a set of 17 M2's if

you are interested? I don't know what you run in the winter or even if your Ninja black wheels are 17's???

We have a set of Dunlop M2's with good tread if you're interested? 205-50-17's.

My 205-60's are soooo soft I can't even imagine a 65- let alone a 70!! EEeeK!

Why don't you crank up the C.O.'s a bit for the winter?

Default the black rims are 17's, in the winter i run the 15" stockers

i might go with 195/65s like 4Driver4 said... if i even buy new snow tires for it, the tires i have now probably have enough tread to get though the winter, can't remember, haven't touched them since march. just sitting inside bored looking for ways to spend money.
