To be perfectly honest, there was very little difference in height between the two stacks.
My personal inclination, after having owned the ITR since Dec 1999 and having gone through a lot of tyres and wheels, is that I would stick w/the cheap 15x7 wheels and cheap 205 Azenis.
That's just me, though.

My goal is to run in the NASA time trail events this year. I do not want the point penalty of running R compounds and I do not have the $$$ to run R compounds.
I need a DOT tire that has a tread wear above 80

[quote:fa34a52ac7]I understand that an 8 inch wide rim running a 215 tire will not bind as much as an 6 inch rim running a 205, but if the 215 is not going to give me an improvement on handling then why run it. That is what I wan to know.[/quote:fa34a52ac7]
Is it possible for you to look into a different choice of rim? Maybe something that fits the 205 Azenis better than your 15x6.
( 15x7 seems to be very popular ).
