I dont know which to buy now...225/50s are on the car now and they look way too small to me. Will 235/60s be much wider/taller? Again thanks for ur help

225/50/15 are way too short...they are only 23.8" tall. The 235/60/15's are 26.1" tall so there will be a big difference. The 225's are 8.80" wide and the 235's are 9.25" wide.

If you go any taller than 26" you will really want gears to help compensate. Get the 235/60/15's

Burnthem in the water, then roll out of it while the are buring untill they start to grab/squeal. I bet you should be able to take .02 of your 60' with them atleast, and every tenth in the 60' make 2 tenths off in the end.
