[urq] tires and premature ageing

[Tony Lum]

Hi Steve,

Maybe special order only.  Their website has no tires in this size :(
 225-50/15 would be last resort but 3.3% undersized.
 215-60/15 are plentiful and just 1.9% oversized if they'll mount on the 15x8 Ronals.

Tony

Odd, I was able to get a set of BFG tires in 215-50/15 for my car not that long ago.  I got them from America's Tire.  IIRC they are G Force Sport.
