Default Tires

I tried a Toyo Proxes TPT 225/60/15 on my 7.5" Trigo today and "too small"
so back to the 235/60/15 Bridgestone H rating, these tires look good with the Toyos on the back, sure they aren't real sticky type tires, but now we know how much wider the Goodyear slicks are, and can basically start to set the cars suspension up!

Diameters are:
Toyo 295/50/15 26.5"
Bridgestone 235/60/15 26.2"

Going down to 215's and 225's gives approx 25.5" or less, big difference in looks.

I suppose in a nut shell I now have good speed rating and perfect diameter compared to the original car! Also in NZ I can have them in about a day!
