Re: V rated tires

Yes Eric,
	But remember the aspect ratio.  A 215/70 might fit, but I doubt a
215/55 will fit as a 55 series will be wider.  I MIGHT fit but it would be
real close and I wouldnt do it as cramming a too big tire on a narrow
wheel is not the best thing to do.  Cant remember but something about tire
wear or handling I think.  L8R
