    Anyone purchase 215/60R15's recently?

    Currently have a set of the Goodyear eagles with the Kevlar performance sidewall. I like the fullness of the look on my car, but it's discontinued. If everything is stock with disc in the front, and a one inch drop what would be a good substitute going back with same tire size? Please send photos.
    Thanks!

    Not many performance rubbers out there in the 15 inch size anymore.
    I had to revert to BFG radial T/A's after my favourite tire in those sizes  were discontinued. I really liked  the BFG G-Force sport comps but could not get them in 205 size that I used on the front.

    There is a "money be damned" solution and everone at SAAC raves about these: Avon CR6-ZZ andthey come in 215-60/15 size. You need to order through Sasco Motorsports in VA and the price will make your hair catch on fire.

    Oh my! That is a bit much. Even when I tracked the car, I didn't spend that much on tires. I am looking for a set to cruise and liked the fit of the 60's but understand that I may have to change size due to market constraints.
    Thanks
