I think a lot of posters are realizing this isn’t the “ oh that’s easy”. I guess guys here run small 205 tires, BFG, or run 18” with a good selection... or lastly..... haven’t bought 15’s for their garage project in 15 years. It’s not as easily done as said.

I'm in the same boat, looking at different options. I'm trying to decide if I should switch to the big bolt pattern or stay with small. If I stay with small, my only real options for wheels and tires is a few options in 15". I agree with you that there just aren't many options in 15".

The problem I saw with the Mickey Thompson's is that they make a 255/60R15, but I have had a hard time finding smaller sizes for the front. Call me weird, but I like to have matching models of tires front to rear. I currently have BFG Radial T/A's front and back (225/60-14 up front, 245/60-14 in back).

I was going to say check Amazon for tire prices, but as someone mentioned, then you get nailed with installation and balancing charges when you have someone mount them. I got a good deal on a new set of fronts, but the tire place charged me $30 to mount and balance the pair! Only reason I did it though is my tire place couldn't get 225/60-14's at the time.
