Default 255/70/15s On My Wheels....

I know the sidewall is a bit tall, but will it cause any problems? I still have the factory 10 holes. I got the tires for free and i dont see why i shouldn't use them.

I love how no one has a fcking clue about tire size, but once adderchimes ineveryone hops on the bandwagon. I had 235/60/15s on it and considering the tires were free, i was wondering if i could throw em on just to get by for the winter.

Here is a comparison chart for ya. Yeah, a 29" tire is too tall. The 235/60/15 is only a 26" tire. That would be like you wearin a pair of shoes that are 2 sizes too big.
