It seems as though (without checking yet) that I may have to get new wheels as well to accomplish what I would like. I don't really want to do that so hopefully a set of tires can be found that will handle what I would like to do.
And I fixed that little spelling mistake in the topic title. Sorry.
Your choices in 15" tires is very limited. Chris
