Fred,
It's difficult to say for sure without knowing the width you have in
mind as well, but 60 series seems very big on a 15" for a Tiger. The stock
rolling diam is a little over 23". Looking at some specs on TireRack.com....
if you get a 205/60-15 tire, it's diameter is about 1-1/2" bigger @ ~24.7",
and I'd expect some problems. A 195/60-15 tire is a little better @ 24.2, but
I'd lean toward a 195/55-15 @ 23.4 or a 205/50-15 @ 23.1".
Going bigger on
diameter makes things much worse very fast, especially with the front lower
valence.
For ref, I run 16" rims with 205/45-16 F and 215/45-16 rear on a
lowered suspension.
What do the guys with 15" rims use?
