Hi everyone! I am looking for new tires for my stock wheels. But due to our size (205/55/15), it is hard to find any choices. Are there other sizes that we could put on these wheels? A size that would have more options? Thanks!

I would stick to that size personally, because changing tyre size (without changing rim size) will affect the gearing and hence performance of your vehicle. Yokohama make S Drives in 205/55R15 I believe....

Haha, well I guess I probably should just stick with the stock size. I have asked tire shops and they don't recommend it at all. But with 205/55R15, I can only chose from bf goodrich, bridgestone, or yokohama. I'll probably go with the Yokohama!

Also much cheaper and fills out the wheel well better. |

That would be better for a snow tire but I agree with the looks. I would just be a PITA when you take off your bumper for I may not be able to squeeze in my arms to get those bolts off

No, not really. I can still get all my bumper bolts and I have negative gap right now.
