I've been reading this thread with interest, but nobody seems to be talking about what tires should be used on 15" rims. I have just acquired a set of Mercedes 15"x6.5" rims for use on my '86 2wd Westy Weekender. I did this in preparation for installation of a SA front brake kit. The rims have 215/65/15 passenger tires. From all the info I've gained from the list, it appears that light truck tires are preferrable. Is this the right tire size? If not, what is?
