At Sams yesterday they had a one time purchase on Goodyear 195 15 V rates!!

Listed as a one time buy Goodyear Eagles in 195x55x15 V speed rates at $70 a pop!!
CHEAP V rated 15's in the factory size for the E-420 is a rare find so heads up guys!!!
Danger Will Robinson ! That is not the factory size tire. Just FYI, the correct size is 195–65–15. The mentioned 55 series tire is going to have much shorter sidewalls...
And factory tire size and recommended pressures label on the back side of fuel filler flap.
Not a danger at all unless you are in some where like New York and are brutalizing the tires and wheels with hitting big pot holes.
MUCH less of a danger in running slightly lower profile tires than running the "correct" size but in the much low speed rate tires that are about all that is available in 15's now for these cars.
Plus with a 2.26 rear gear in these having a slightly lower profile tire is NOT a bad thing!!
The word "danger" was pure sarcasm on my part I just did want to alert you and anyone else that it was not technically the correct tire size...
Hey no problem. This is an "obsolete" size so there is not much available in a performance tire with a V or better speed rate in this size range. Wish they were 225 or 235x50x15's myself as if they were a set would have left with me. Still may go back for a set.
