Help me decide between these two tires

225/60 ZR 15 Yokohamas or these Pirellies which are only V rated but are much wider at 255.
And yes I am staying with my 15's. (its a CE)

I would definately go with the 255's from pirellie. The 225/60's will not look right on your car. The wheel wells will have alot of empty space in them because that tire's diameter is so much smaller than the 255's.

I'm running Yokohama AVS intermediate 235/60 -15 on all corners. They are really great and quite affordable too. Great rubber :D

I would use the wider tires, as long as the tread isn't SUV looking :rolleyes:

I use the Pirelli's. I like them. The tread is agressive...and they seem to handle quite well (I'm only putting 350 RWHP through them, though).

:D
