Tires on Sunday?

Anyone know where I might find tires for my car today? I have called a few shops, none seem to have 175/65 R15 in stock.

Some Dobbs are open on Sunday. Look at 195/60-15 or 205/55-15 sizes. They will still fit on your stock rims and give you a little wider tire. Overall they are the same height, so it won't affect your speedo or anything.

Even the 185/65-15 will fit and not effect your speedo.

Won't a wider tire rub? Or is there enough width space on 15in tire?

There's plenty of space with a 195 or 185.
The stock 17" wheels have 205 section width tires, and they fit fine.
You can go up to 205 on a 5.5" width rim, also, although a wider rim would be better.
