What size tires can I use on my 81zx? 205/60r15 ,215/60r15

Re: Tires
 

I'd use the 215's, more grip

What turns? There all straight to my Z

I'm using 215/60/15 and I think those are slightly oversize. 205/60/15 is the proper outside diameter. If you want wider, you can use 225/55/15 for a proper replacement.

go to this page and enter the Z's stock tire size. Then enter your own to see how close it is. No tire is exactly the same size, but try to get it within 1 or 2 miles per hour.

I think 195/70/14 is stock for a ZX.

Great Thanks for the info

On my 83 ZX I had the original rims size 14, and on the front I had pirelli tiries sizes 215 60 and on the rear 235 60 and I had no problems. So I don't know if it would change with a size 15 or 16
