<html><DIV> <P>Ken, I thought you used Agilis 51's in 205 65 R15? If this is true please tell us about the difference between these two tires on 15 inch wheels. Also, since 205 65 R15 is the stock tire in SA for 15 inch wheels isn't 215 65 R15 not exactly right? (whereas 215 60 R15 would be an exact match? [in the correct load rating of course). And if yes then what are the cons (as well as the pro's) of using 215 65 R15 tires SA 15 inch wheels? For instance is your speedometer thrown off? Or is there a compromise in the life of the tire because the sidewalls have to curve more to fit the wheels? On the plus side, how much protection is given to the lip of the wheels when you accidently brush up against the side of a curb while parking? </P> <P>Sorry for the anal retentive ignorance on my behalf. Its just that I'm an expert in making the wrong decisions. <BR><BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: KENWILFY@aol.com <DIV></DIV>>Reply-To: KENWILFY@aol.com <DIV></DIV>>To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <DIV></DIV>>Subject: Re: 14" 15" and 16" oh my! <DIV></DIV>>Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 10:12:39 EDT <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I have 15" SA Alloy rims on my '91 Carat Vanagon.
