For anyone who runs 15 inch rims, how the hell do you guys find tires without spending a load of money? I got 225/60/15's on my car right now, but they have a lot of flat spots from sitting. I wanted to run something like 225's up front and either 235 or 245 in the back, but everywhere ive tried, i would have to special order them. If I cant find any tires, I might see how 16's fit on the 86 and see if i can run them without and rubbing issues.

Cooper Cobras if we're talking about street driving.

Amazon product ASIN B004QGZO8C
No muss, No fuss. Last long time, not the stickiest tire in the universe to be sure. They like to be good and warm. Good in all weather for about the first half of the tread life. They start getting slick when wet after that.

Discount Tire also has a couple of General brand economy tires (Altimax RT43 and RT45) shown as available in the 225/60-15 size. They are not made in 235 or 245 sizes tho.
