    Tires

    Looking for some 205-60-15 tires. Been running 205-55-15 and I'm done with that size ater 3 sets in 15 years. Like the Yoko Advan A048's but they no longer make that size. Any suggestions on a performance/touring 205-60?

    No one to chime in? I need tires or I can't drive. They're too cracked. Not on the sidewall, right on the tread line at top of sidewall

    Yokohama just came out with new sizes in 15" for our cars as did one other manufacturer I believe. I have not looked personally as my tires are still in great shape on my deep 6 wheels.

    I haven't found a good tire in that size for over 2 years. I use to run the Advans A048 205/60, but the next best tire sizes I run are in 205/50's range, there's a lot more to choose from. I suffer a bit on the freeway by a couple of MPH's but I really do not have a choice.

    The comp tires I use are the Hankook 205/50R15 Z214, and just some grocery getters for my daily set.

    I have some buddys who run the Advan A052 and the Toyo Triple 8R's. You might wanna look into those.

    RIP - The last pair I was able to find

    205 50's you can get all day. You might try the CN36's in a 205 70. P7's has the look but only 205 50.
