tires for 15"x7" Bundt wheels
I have a 1971 280se 6cyl. sedan. I just purchased a set of 15"x7" Bundt wheels. What tires do you recommend for a nice comfort ride?
205/60-15 205/65-15 215/60-15 215/65-15 Any input is appreciated. Thanks. |

I am not a fan of the smaller diameters. 205/65/15 is the standard choice IMO. 215/65/15 I'd probably like better, but it's a little aggressive. I currently have 205/75/14 on my w108 and like the look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 215/60/15 is the closest to stock diameter of 24.9". They are 25.2"
These are pretty highly rated https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=P4+Four+Seasons+Plus&partnum=16TR5P4POLD&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

The 205/65 have slightly more tire wall height than the 215/60, that usually means more "cushioning" when driving over rough road. I think the Classic Center use the 205/65 15 size on their cars.
