Tire Width Question

[SSPGARY]

Over the years I've noticed that not all 225 60 15 tires are the same width ( some up to 1/2" difference ). I'm about to install a set of Goodyear Eagle GT HRs on my car and am wondering if they fill the rim nicely? Any pics?
Thanks

According to TireRack, they'll fit fine on a 15" rim with a width range of 6-8".

In terms of size, I recently installed 255/60R15 BFG Radial TA's on the back of my SSP. Love the look of the taller, wider tire.

Goodyears always appear the widest. The tires on mine appear tiny in comparison to Goodyear or BFG's. I will go back to Goodyear upon the next replacement. But I have to admit, our V-rated choices are getting more and more limited. I just don't like the feel of the H rated tires. Rubber compound is too hard for me.

I just put a set of Eagle GT HRs on and they are narrower than what I had on. I may sell them and switch to BFG G Force Sports instead because they were a lot wider. Funny how the same tire size differs by manufacturer?

You'll be very happy with the looks and performance of the BFGs.

Would you believe these tires are on back order til mid November!! I guess 15s aren't as popular as before.:rolleyes:

Kumhos arent as wide as Bfgoodrich tires. Or they look like it anyway.
