tires over 5 years old are actualy no longer DOT compliant, and in many cases no longer safe ...atleast at higher speeds

as far as a size change goes, idealy you need to stay "light" and only go as big as you have to personaly i wouldnt put on anything bigger than a 15, and actualy prefer my 14's with a 195 60 14

if you bent a wheel.....then that tells me you drive on questionable roads and need all the sidewall you can get to protect the wheels from getting bent, which means 14's

Yeah concerned about my safety with 5+ year old tires.

I currently have 15' and will probably stick to that if I don't choose to go bigger.

My area is ok, bought this car used so who knows where it was before.

Also what does 38mm vs 45mm offset mean on wheels?
