tire sizes
 
what size tires do you guys recommend for the front and rear on 10 hole rims? i want as wide as possible on the rear but do not want to have to worry about rubbing. thanks for your input!

i used the search feature [as i should have done in the first place] and it seems that the tire size of choice is 225/60/15..

Yes, 225/60R15 is the stock size for the aero SSPs. On my old '85 CHP (#E408395), I had that size on the front and I put 255/60R15 BFG tires on the back, which were more substantial without being obnoxious (in my opinion) -

can anyone suggest tire bands available in 255 and 225 sizes by 15 for lx coupe. looks as if very limited brands available... thanks

Bought this size from Tread Depot.com for my 1990 MSHP SSP during the Black Friday sales reductions last year. I like them and like you stated the selections have become limited. I researched quite a bit on brand options and prices at the time. For the look, price and the brand options this was what I liked the most.

thanks guys....but is there another brand beside bfg that makes a 225/60/15 and 255/??/15 combination? i know the white lettering can be turned inside on the bfgs but would prefer blackwalls both sides. surely there are other choices in this combo? any help or ideas appreciated...

I have Cooper Corba's om mine. 235/60 front and 255/60 or 245/60 out back.
