Default What Tire size for 15x4

Hey everyone. Whats up? Im just curious, Im ordering a set of 15x4 for the front on my S197. I was Just Wondering, what size tire can i go with on a 15x4 wheel. I was looking at the BFGoodrich Radial T/A 195/60/15. Would that be good, or could i go smaller?

Thanks in Advance.

What I have always used and what everyone around here uses is 165/80-15. You can get them on Ebay for a dime and a dance and are pretty good tires. I have a set of ebay nankangs on my drag car and on another fox I purchased a few months ago. Price is $110.20 and has FREE SHIPPING!~

Yes they will. Now do remember that is a skinny tire for a drag car so your handeling will suffer.

I run a 155/80-15 on a 4" drag star. I think it is the smallest BFG T/A. It is a skinney for sure.
