Speaking of tires...

[Guest Richard D]

Would changing the size on my 90 coupe from 215/65/15 to something with a slightly shorter sidewall like 215/60/15 make the handling or turn in any better without making it ride stiff?

Probably not. Wheel is too narrow. Had 225x50x16s on white car on 16x7s briefly and really looked odd particularly in back. 225x60x16s on 7" rims look good.

I put 225/60/R15s on my Reattas and Trans Sports. Michelin XGTV4s and later Kumho V rated tires.

Looks better IMO and transformed the handling.

Speedo remained more or less spot-on.

You might consider aquiring 16 inch wheels (1991 Reatta, some other GM wheel, or an aftermarket) and knocking the sideway down a little. I don't believe going up 1 inch will kill the the ride quality.

Thank you all, since I want to keep the car looking as stock as possible, even though there are some REAL nice aftermarket ones I will probably try Rogers suggestion unless the the wheel width is too narrow.

CHEERS!
