I need a set of decent summer tires, but the problem is the rim size - 185/60r15. The only half-bad tires in this size that I see are Firestone FR740, and forget about getting anything better than "high performance".

I know that tire selection drastically improves on bigger rim sizes, what would be the "plus size" for 85/60r15? I think R16 would do just fine.

185/55/16 is the size closest to the 185/60/15

How'bout these? https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+V2+concept2&partnum=855HR6H457&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

If you can put some 205/55/16's on it without them rubbing you'll get a damned good variety of tires to chose from

That doesn't get anything above "high performance all-season" on Tirerack. Last time I bought tires from that category instead of my usual top category, I regretted it for several years - those tires sucked, but to add insult to injury tread life was much better.

How about this;

I had 4 on my car.

2 popped.

the other 2 have worn down to the last percentage of tread legal in my state within 43,000 miles

granted most the miles are highway miles at upwards of 100 mph.

Maybe you shouldn't put performance tires on pizza cutter wheels and get a performance car instead design for that

I should add those miles were on Indiana highways which are basically never fucking paved properly

I run 185s on my miata. They didn't have 55s so I had to get 60s instead. I got bridgestone all seasons and they have been great for what I need it for (commuting).
>>
Ive got that same HF jack, op. I think it was a good buy. And besides, it's for "racing."

Go 16. Prices jump dramatically every inch after that. I actually passed on a mazda sport wagon because it was running 18s and needed new tires. They priced at 120 more than 17s for the set with decent rubber.
