Hi rose,

I’ve been reading the tire info for years now.  Basic answer is 16 inch is now a better way to go and will give you more options then 15.  

If you are a road traveler this is the way to go, even 17 could be looked into.

I’m still running 14 inch so I’m saying this from reading many posts from folks on this list. 

If my tires were not so new and if I didn’t love my old bay window style hub caps I’d go 16 with one of the packages Denis Haynes has listed.  Some are found right on Amazon at a good price.
