Tire size question

[Snotty]

what would you go to?

Either 245s like my Buddy, or 255s. It depends on what will be available. When we needed to replace a 245/14 on my Son's Gremlin it was next to impossible to find one. TAs have, apparently, taken a back seat in today's narrow-rim world.

If you're worried about the size, don't be. I'm running P235/60R/15 TA Radials on my Newport. A buddy ran 245s on his 300. Both have plenty of room to go larger. My plan is to go larger when my TAs are replaced.

Enjoy!
