Five year old article on the "15 inch tire problem"

Most tabbed cars aren't built for lateral loads. Mine has 165x15s on the front, and 18.5/ 31x15 ET streets in the back.
The only turning it does is onto the turnoff road. And into the in-n-out drive thru. ( Edit: legendary local hamburger joint, double-doubles, four x four, and ten x ten, yep, ten patties)

Right, but the whole thread is about the lack of 15" tires for HANDLING performance. As in, lateral loads on the front tires. Not a drag race only tire thread.

And there are a ton of pro-touring mopars that are at least mini-tubbed.
