riding on 225/60/15 when 205/65/15 is stock size

What would be the negative effects of riding on 225s on sawblades besides having a fat abnormal tire size. People at firestone almost scared me into buying a new set, but wanted to see what the orgers thought.

215/60-15 is the other factory size for the 15" wheels. Technically the 225/60 is too tall, but I wouldn't worry about it at all.

yea ur tires are a lil too tall...the only thing on the negative side is that they may look funny and lose a lil bit of handeling

I had 225/60/15 on my sawblades years ago.... no problems... they are a little fat for the wheels.... as for the height diff the 225's are only 0.1" over the 205's
