WOW!! LOVE the handling!! LOve feeling the acceleration.
not wild about the 4x4 look
Handling and acceleration is the name of the game. In a brief period of time the 4x4 look will go away and they will look right, just like 18's on a viper look right. After awhile those 15's with 5" sidewalls will start to look like wheels for a ratfink hotrod

Hi everyone,

I also like the 15 inch tire look. Can anyone provide postive feedback for a good 15 inch street tire?
