If you are doing a conversion, I strongly recommend an up-rated high efficiency core. The new core can be 2-3" longer than stock, as well. With a new core, you will still use the old top & bottom ta

To second what Jerry has said, I doubt that you will be happy with the 50 profile. 195/65/15 is a nice tire, fills the wheel well, gives a comfortable ride, and gives good handling. I am running Yok
