Keep in mind its a 70 series. Going on my 70 Satellite. My other option is the P245, 60 series which is 26.6" diameter but may be too wide for turning? Using the same wheel, 15x7 steelie. Can anyone help with this? I am going to be ordering the P275/60/15 for the rear. Also a 28" tire if you have any suggestions for my fronts above??....Thanks!!

I have a 245/50R15 not it it is not too wide, just a bit on the short side. Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

The problem is a lot of the "popular" tires are discontinued in the P235 and P245 sizes this leaves you with a winnie looking P225 or a P255 that might rub on some applications

Just bought a set for my GS in 245 60-15 and 255 60-15.
