[QUOTE=cthulhu] I personally have run 255/60/15 on both my c3's ive had..

I like the better handling of the 60..  the change in ride quality is insignificant.

225/70 and 255/60 are both 27" tires..  so the diameter is correct..  245/60 is a little short.. [/QUOTE]

Is the 255/60-15 too much tire for a 15x7 rim?  It falls within the range on Tire Rack's spec sheet but was wondering if it would look too fat on the narrower rim.
