    315??? i dont think they exist... you'd need 15" wide rims for tyres that big

    widest i know of are khumo 235/45/r13s which would go up to 10/11" wide rims i guess.


    if you do have rims that wide we need pics

    Agree ... although I know fmarie said they are .
    Biggest tyre in 13" was an American 245 tyre, then the Yokohama and BFG 235/50 and since a couple of years the Avon road legal CR500 in 245.
    Checked this today with a friend who has been in the tyre business for over 20 years and has all the tyre data at hand.

    Yokohama (and also Pirelli) did make very wide tyre in 15".
