I like the Coopers. Well made, long lasting, ROUND unlike some. On my 04.5 3500 Cummins dually, I generally get 50-70k on a set of 6. Very long lasting.

What Kern Dog said. The rotational inertia, flywheel effect, is greater on larger diameter wheels since the weight is further out from the center. The wheel can be lighter but the mass/weight is further out and is harder to slow down than a 14/15. Think of leverage and fulcrums. As for wheel...

17's don't have as much for size variety, there are more for 18's to help vary sidewall dimensions and profile. One other thing to think about is that larger diameter rims can act as a flywheel of sorts and can make braking fun. You really need to improve your brakes if you go the larger wheel...

It will depend on the wheel backspacing. My car, with the 15x8 Welds on a 4" or so back space,had no issues with the 275/50-15 Coopers even with it being lowered.

Cooper has a decent selection on the tires. I used 235/60-15"s on the front and 275/60-15"s on the back of my car. Made in the country too.

I believe its supposed to be flat like brake drums. All 8 tires balanced fine but they were moving quite a bit radially. The guy with the white walls came back complaining of a 40-45 shake. The balance was fine but can't do anything about not being round.

Be prepared for them to not be round too. At my work, we've done two sets of repro tires, supplied by car owners, that were not round due to how they are stored.

When I first got my 65, it had 265/50r-15 Goodyear Gatorbacks on it all around with 15X8 Welds using 4" or so on back space. No clearance issues on the front even with it lowered. Later on, using the same wheels, I put on 235/60r-15 front and 275/60r-15 rear Coopers on it with still no rub issues.

Circle track application, can't remember brand though.
