If a guy has a 3.5 rear wheel width, which tire works better:: the 165 80 r15 or the 205 70 r15 tire?

In other literature, it states that a 165 should go on a 4inch min. wheel.

Not sure about what is recommended for the 205.

Thanks for comments and clarification on this issue.

Well I could tell you how I scientifically to figure out what tires will fit...but then I would have to kill ya'!.... Laughing

Here the best advice I can give you since going to the darkside. Go with the brand and size that people have already proven that's most easily mounted and had miles put on it !

If you are the adventureous type...bring a tape measure and get the tire that at rest is the narrowest or closest to the narrow rim of the 1300!
