    Default 15" tires... what size is best for 540?

    My 17" wheels are a bit banged up and I think I will use the 15" for awhile.
    I have on 225/60/15 winter tires.... what size summers can I put on there?
    any reccomendations?
    thanks.

    225/60/15 is what usually came stock on these. Im running Falcon Ziex 512 and so far I like them, decent tire and cheap...quiet/smooth. $53 bucks at tiresavings.com I noticed they do tend to flat spot after sitting a while but are fine after a few minutes driving.

    You can get so much good info about tires and wheels from there...you just input you car's info...and the site will give you the various tire sizes for what ever size wheel you have. They also have great reviews, tests, and empirical data...as well as the mfg's info about their tires.
