    Need help on what tires and size to choose
    205/70r15 --stock
    pros: better mileage, more torque and less unsprung weight
    cons: Puny looking

    215/70r15
    pros: higher ride height, more macho looking
    cons: poor mileage and less torque

    I tried these two sizes and thus far my pros and cons..Im currently on the 215/70r15 size and im contemplating on getting another tire brand because of the road noise on both stock and my currently upsized tire. What are the good tire brands and models today (less noise,more grip, low tread wear). The stock bridgestone duelers are crap and my current dunlop sp70e is almost in the same league as the duelers... Are A/T tires suited for my vehicle? Im torn between going back to stock size to regain lost torque and mileage and the looks of the bigger tire.Help

    if u want tires dat would last a life tym, y dnt u try the the michellin vanpix tires.its an 8ply tire, wit lifetime warranty as long as there is still visible treads.. im not too sure of the sizes available, but i think there is a 215,65 r15. so dat should be almost the same as ur stock tires but wider.

    try 216/65-15 as suggested by cocoy.

    You should have gotten the Dunlop RV501 instead of sp70e. If you don't want road noise don't get all terrain tires

    don't go for A/T if you are primarily driving in the city.

    i've read of good reviews about the goodyear fortera... shame that they don't carry sizes for the gen2 rav4.

    the dueler h/t (687 i think) that comes with the cr-v are the cheapest in the dueler line... the 697 (the ones in the rav4) are a bit better).

    thanks guys for the replies, before getting the sp70e i was comparing it with the rv501 and based on the looks of both tires the rv501's tread design looks like its going to wear out sooner than the sp70e. I had the sp70 for more than a year now and about 5k kms on them...road noise was a little better than the stock dueler 584, but still its noisy and grip was almost none. I have an auto trans and i could easily spin the tires (paiyak) from a standstill, on dry tarmac at that!

    btw, are yokohama geolandars any good?
    Cocoy,
    Regarding the 215-65r15 size, I thinks this size is a bit too small because the stock size is already 26.3 inches diameter, and this is only 26 inches. The 215/70 is 26.9"

    i tot the stock size tires was 205/70/15.i guess i cud be wrong, i just tot dat if u had 205/70/15 tires. then a 215/65/15 tire would hav the same height as the 205, but wider. oh well cud be wrong.i own starex, and i replaced my 205/70/15 tire to 215/70/15.and its bigger in diameter.there is very little difference between a 205/70/15 and a 215/65/15 tires in diameter. the width is the main difference.
