[Tigers] upgrade to 15" rims tires

[Tod Brown]

  Although this may be a little bit off topic, I think it might be 
relevant.

I have 14-inch Panasports on my Tiger - 6-inch wide on the front and 
7-inch on the rear with absolutely no interference problems.  The key, 
as someone mentioned, is getting the correct offsets.  I got my wheels 
from Dale Akuszewski in California because I figured he knew the right 
offsets if anyone did.  It might be a good idea to pick his brain a bit 
to decide on what you want and what is possible.

The discussion of which diameter to use has been repeated numerous times 
on here and we all have our opinion, so it comes down to personal 
preference in the end.  The point about availability of tires for 13 and 
14-inch wheels has some merit and entered into my decision to go from 13 
to 14-inch.  I have Dunlops on my wheels (185/60 on the front and 195/60 
on the rear) and like them.  The ride is not any worse than the 13-inch 
tires I had and I find the handling better.  I don't think the footprint 
is significantly less than it would be for 15-inch tires and, since my 
preference is for some comfort over all-out handling, I am happy with 
the balance.
