can you fit 205/60R15 tires on the stock rims of a 95 c280 like later cars with the sport package have or do you have to stick with 195/65R15 tires? my current stock size tires are fast approaching their expiration date and need to get a new set of 5... any suggestions for ultra high performance all weather tires? are the yokohama dB2 any good? had the original version and they were almost gone by 12k miles... great traction though... have they fixed the tirewear problem?

My OEM tire size is 195/65 15 Continentals and I replaced it with
205/60 15 Michelin MXM Energy and have been using the same size for the last 5 years.
I've been thinking about replacing the whole set up with nice wheels like the Monoblock II's - still saving for it.

Oh, my car is 97 C230.
