    I have a couple different options that Im looking at for the rear tires on my coupe. Its going to be chrome steelies 5.5's/560s with the rears being 15x7's by?????? Here is the options Im looking at and I need some pics of what people have to compare....keep in mind they will be blackwalls and firestones....I want a wide tire but I dont want that ugly bow either and also why does the 700 have to be tubed and the other two are tubeless.

    700x15 710x15 820x15
    height 29.29 28.88 29.56
    cross 7.4 7.7 8.35
    tread 5.38 4.5 5.00
    needs tube tubeless tubeless

    Seems you want pie crust and appears 8.20 isn't. Slicks in FL rain not great idea so looks like 7.10.

    Im actually alot more into the bias ply rears....just the dimensions of the 700's are more my height that im looking for compared to the 710's. I just dont want that weird bulged look of the 820's that can be seen sometimes.......evel's limewire has the 700s and they look great on 15's. The 700s are taller and the tire patch is wider than the 710s as well. Tough decisions.....your right cheater slicks in florida=bad idea because this car is going to be a driver....

    we always ran the 820's for traction and they looked good. Its a personal choice you have to make though.
