Q & A: 15" Wire Wheels
Thursday March 27th, 2003
John

I'm currently running 185-70-14's. What 15" tire would provide the same height of wheel and tire combination in 15" as in the 14", 185-70-14's?
What replacement wires do you use? Dayton? Dunlop?
Is there any reason this is a bad idea?
Many Thanks For Your Consideration

Tip of the Day

stop! The proper functioning of your brakes must ALWAYS be at the
top of your list of priorities. You owe this degree of safety to yourself,
your passenger, and all others on the road.
