    Was driving from Atlanta to the Gulf and had a fun Rapids Unplanned Depressurization of the front passenger tire. Good thing I’m weird and made myself a spare tire kit.

    Tire looked awful and I thought it was because of riding couple hundred yards on the interstate stopping from 70. Of course size is impossible to find, especially in rural FL. But got a shop that could get it, and when they lifted the car they showed me the rest of the tire.

    Long story short - alignment issues destroyed the tires, all 4 needed to be replaced. I opted for 215/55 as an experiment - diameter is the same.

    Fun pics attached. 30k on the odometer, just hit 3 years, was at the dealer for service 4 months back - didn’t hear a peep.

    What do you guys think about 215/55?
