17" versus 14" tires

Curious what brand 15" tires you are running. Seems like it isn't hard to find a 15" tire, but if you want one with a modern compound, they are few and far between.

Either way, it comes down to what you want to do with the car. I think much like building a "600 HP motor", we as a community get wrapped up in the idea of something when the reality is if we are realistic with what we build and accept it for what it is, we will be just as happy. If not more. I know I have done that with brakes, no reason I need 14.2" rotors and 4 piston Brembo calipers. But I still want them and plan to run them even though it forces me to 18" wheels and tires.
I am running Mastercraft Avenger G/T all around with 255/60R15 on 15x8 out back and 215/65R15 on 15x7 up front and 32 to 34 psi. All wheels are 0 offset wheels. Current issue I’m up against is after a nice drive today I found a squirrelly steering scenario… might be time for aftermarket upper A arms or offset bushings… I never measured my caster after doing home alignment but with +2 rear leafs it can’t be much positive caster if any. It was not terrible but it was under hard braking at lower speeds. Livable and not noticed at high speeds… but I wasn’t about to test it there either lol.
