different tire question

On a Touring, can you place any brand of tire on it as long as it is 17 inch ones?

they are 16" and there isnt much of a selection when it comes to tires, because of this some people are upgrading to 205 55 16s

in the touring size of 195 55 16 you will probably only find 5 or so brands of tires, 3 or 4 brands of winter tires, and 13 or so brands of run flat tires.

i have not heard of anyone putting anything else on a touring except those two tire sizes

If you use 17" tires, you'll have to add spacers.
