going to oversize on 126?

Luke / others,

I have an 87 300 sdl, going to need tires in a few months. I've seen some posts on going to 225/60/15's. Any opinions? I'm mostly a highway cruiser (lots of 80mph+ time) with some back roads 2 lane driving. We get occassional snow / sleet in NC, so I would like an all season tire on the higher performance end, and of course quiet in this car.

The tire-rack selector and ratings pointed at the Bridgestone Turanza (about $100/tire) and at a Dunlop SP Sport A2 (about $70/tire). Suggestions on:

1. the oversize move vs. stock size?

2. either of the choices above?

Thanks, I've used tirerack several times on my Mustang and Ford Van. I'm going to need tires on my '93 Lincoln Mark VIII soon also (226/60/16). It has Michelin Symetry tires on it. They have been pretty good... again any suggestion?

Chuck
