I HAVE 215/65R15 TIRES ON THE FRONT AND 235/70R15 TIRES ON THE BACK. THE REARS ARE KINDA BIG, BUT THEY DO FIT.

THE 215/65R15 TIRES ON THE FRONT ARE ABOUT AS TALL AS THE 215/75R14 THAT WERE ON THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I NEED THE BIG MEATS ON THE REAR TO KEEP MY CLASS 3 HITCH FROM DRAGGING (I TOW A 1968 CAMPING TRAILER).

Sorry about the ALL CAPS but the AMC-List doesn't provide much ability for contrasting print or fonts when posting replys to posts.
