One of the advantages of the 15" rims is having a much better selection of 6 ply sidewall rated tires that make the van ride like a slot car in cross winds. Check out tirerack.com for example and look for truck, commercial truck, light truck tires that have at least a "C" rating and inflate to at least 44 psi. Better is 50-55 or even 60 psi max inflation.

Will a larger diameter 15 inches tire hanble the same as a smaller diameter tire on 14 inches ? Thanks Denis |
