hello i'm looking for some new tires....as you can see i'm thinking of P215/60R15 Front, P255/60R15 Back . I'm looking for a tough looking stance.....does this sound like a good choice? now someone told me to run 215/65/r15 in front? what is the difference between 65 and 60.............??

The sidewall height is different, a 60 is shorter, a 65 is taller.
The 60/65 is called an aspect ratio and is considered as a percentage of the width.
60% of 215 is less than 65% of 215.
A 215/60R15 is the stock size a newer Chevy Malibu uses.

I would recommend a 235/60R15 on front, better handling, nice width, good stance.

I had 215/60r15 and 255/60r15 on my car a couple of years ago. It lowered the front just a tad and raised the rear just a tad. Looked mean, but not hillbillyish like many. Handled like crap though. Compared to the 235/60r15 all the way around I had before it was a big difference. The front end drifted too much and you could feel the rear sidewalls rolling over.
