tire people help

well quick question, Im currently running some 165 r15 86t in the front of my dart and I need to go a bit smaller due to fittment issues.. But I dont want to go to terribly small were it eats potholes and looks like a low-pro tire on 20"s
So can I knock it down a little bit? tire size sugggestions? a little shorter/thinner is what I need.

What you're running is about as small as I can find in a pure street tire. I don't know what rim width you're running so I'm going to assume that it's not an issue. Hoosier makes a Pro-Street radial 24 x 7.50R15 LT that has an outside diameter of 23.8" and a tread width of 5.3". This should be both shorter and narrower than what you have. You're looking at drag race, front runner tires.
