Tire ?

[RX MAD]

The car I have just bought runs a 205/55ZR14 I was wondering if I can change that size without effecting a lot of stuff, it seems to me that i just can't find a whole lot of these size tires. Would going to a fifteen inch tire be an option any help would be appreciated.

Ummm, and what class are you running in? And what type of car is it?

[nevermind - I just looked at another posting - it's an ITB Mustang, right?]

You can go to a 205/50r15 on a 15x6 rim, which is a very common size.

There are lots of tires in this size:

Hoosier R6
Hoosier A6
Hoosier Radial Wet
Toyo RA1
Kumho V710
Kumho V700
Hankook Z214
Avon Tech RA
Nitto NT01

This is one of the most common sizes in ITB and ITC competition.

Yep, or you can even look at going wider (225/50) on the same 14x6 wheels... I'd imagine they'd fit under the mustang fenders without any real difficulty.
