I just received a set of Panasports and am tire shopping.   Nevermind the brand 
selection, I'm concerned about tire size.  I currently have 205/70/15 on my 
72-spoke wires and want to go to 215/65/15 on my Panasports.  After exploring 
Tire Rack, I found that one needs to go down to a 65 ratio to get the higher 
performance tires.  Is there a downside here?  Is the clearance in the wheel 
wells okay as well as with the suspension components?  I noticed in the tire 
survey summary that several people were running this size tire.  I am 
interested in hearing your experience.
