Generally a big difference in price between 15 and 16 tires…if that is a decision factor for you.

Going to up grade the rims on my '91 Carat.

Thinking of going VC Euro-look Alloys in 15 x 7 ET 23 or 16x7 ET23.

15 inch - 205/65/15 and 205/70/15  or  Michelin Agilis 205/65/15. Load
Range C

16 inch - Nokian 215/60/16 or 225/50/16

Would appreciate any comparisons between the two rim sizes, tire sizes,
etc, cautions, etc. Handling, etc.

Any comments would be appreciated.
