[V8] Goodyear Tires

[Greg Furstenwerth]

Ok here is a question. I am not sure the standard size of tire. My 
owners manual says 205/60-15 as you said and tirerack.com says 205/60-15 
but the tire that is on there is 205/65-15. I am wondering what the deal 
is here :/ I am kinda worried now heh...  Reading back through stevens 
email. The numbers on one of the rims are as follows I dont know if this 
helps

441601025P

7 1/2 J15H2ET35

RG063

And they are the Audi BBS stock rims.

I assume that 7 1/2 means that its a 15x7.5 as Steve said but you guys 
would know better than me. I dont really know about tire sizes and all 
that I am just learning what all these things mean.

Anyway I noticed that with the tire size that I currently have on some 
terrible federal tires that the previous owner had on the car are 
205/65-15 and they are H rated pretty terrible tires for the V8 but I 
plan on treating it right and getting everything done. I just dont want 
to have issues with the car. Will this tire cause problems with the car? 
Do I need to worry about getting it changed soon or is it fine to run 
that tire and if so that means that I can fit on the comfortreds. AFAIK 
the brakes are stock pretty much everything on that car is stock from 
what I can tell.

Thanks very much guys.
