Tire Size
Does anyone know if 215-60-16 tires will fit on the SVX? They look like they might be to tall, but I'm not sure.

Stock is 225/50/16, with a 4.4" sidewall. 215/60/16's will have a 5.1" sidewall, so .6" difference. I would say it's probably safe, though I'm not 100% sure.

215/60/16 works out to give you a 5% error in your speedo reading.

Speedo error is no issue at all to me. The tires are my winter tires that I've already got for the other car. I have two sets (one for racing and one for driving) so for this season I might just dedicate one set to each car.
