i went to a local tire shop and he told me the biggest you can go is p225 which is tiny. On the other hand 15 in rims you can stuff in pretty big tires p255
as for brand i have mastercraft and they are awesome!! lasted through about 15 burnouts and driving from Ohio to Texas and back. cooper tires are also good for the price. just do people in Ohio a favor and get American made one. they keep shipping jobs overseas!

A 225 will be an improvement over stock, but it depends how high the car sits; they still might look small.

I agree buy American!!

i have p205 in the front and p225 in the back and the back looks okay but the tire is way to skinny in my opinion. I can break them loose when ever i want and usually when i don't want.
