Bigger rims are the biggest bang for the buck improvement I ever did to my van. Equal to an engine conversion, suspension wise. Opens up a whole new world of tire choices of appropriately rated tires. I have 215/60 16 hydroedge on a Westy, 215/65 15 Goodyear Tripletreads on a 91 GL, and 225/70/15's Goodyear Fortera Tripletreads on a syncro. All of them are great. I think the Hydroedge might be might favorite of the bunch. A little expensive, but 90k mile tread. John |
