15" tire options
What tire options are there for 15" wheels. I like my stock aluminum wheels but am curious what tire options exist. Most if not all performance tires are made for larger wheels aren't they?

BF Goodrich Radial T/As have been pretty popular. for 15 inch tire, i like the Firestone white letter or Goodyear Eagle GTII and yes, most Z rated performance tires are made for 16 and 17 inches.

Re: 15" tire options (Redshark6974)
I use Kumhos in 275 60R15 size. They have a nice beefy look, also exceptional wear life. Unfortunately they don't come in a size that'll fit the front. Yokohama Avid S/Ts are also popular, they come in any size you'd want, I had them before the Kumhos, and I still have them on the front. Search on Tirerack.com for sizes you may want, they have some comparisons.
Ultimately though, REAL performance tires will be for 17, 18 inch rims. Depends how much you have to $pend.
