I've been told that the diameter for 215/75R15 is approx 5/8 inch less than for 7,60x15. This will only lower the car approx 5/16 inch. I'm in doubt which to choose; 225 or 215!

I'm considering the 215/75R15 size, as to get more easy tire change rear. Are there any snags using the 215 tire? Tom

The freight, handling, customs and 25% VAT make them too expensive. I have found some Finnish made tires in Norway; Kontio Whitepaw Classic 225/75R15. As this seize is approx 20mm wider than the 7.60x15,I was afraid this could cause trouble.

As it's impossible for me to get hold of Diamondbacks, I wonder what's wrong with Cokers? As the cost to change the tires is approx USD 1.800,00, I want to make a "wise" decision! Anyhow is the recommended size 225x75x15 (in case of flat tire change rear)? Tom

I think I go for Coker 225x75x15. Have anybody had any experience using these on 56 Clipper? Any recommendations?
Thanks. Tom
