Bridgestone Potenza RE730's - size matters

[Tommy the Greek]

Heelo guys and gals,
Since the RE730's don't come in 215/60ZR16's
can I get the 225/60ZR16's on my SHO? Will they fit on my '95?
According to there website, the 225/55ZR16's turn 31 more times per mile than the 225/60ZR16's and since I am always on the highway and I'd rather have less revolutions/mile than more revs/mile.
I apologize if this is confusing

Thank you in advance.

if a 225-60/16 fits on my 91, then it'll fit on your 95

I suggest that you go with the 225/55ZR16 size. This size is very close to the speedometer calibration (even closer that the stock 215/60-16). The 225/60-16 just looks too large and has more sidewall to flex. I used a set of Dunlop D40M2s in this size because they were cheaper and thought it looked like I was trying to make my car into an offroad vehicle. I also had rubbing against the front fender liner over bumps.
