I'm trying to keep 15" wheels and tires with at least a 50 series profile on my old cars for street use when I can....after wrecking two 19" forged wheels in the last few years I'm done. Winnipeg streets and low profile tires don't mix!
I lost a couple of 15s there too, one with 275/50 on it and one with a 275/60. Stay outta St.James. Admittedly mostly my fault. I rarely go to Wpg anymore.
I prefer the ride of at least 50s. And they last a lot longer than "a few weeks"
