5th Gen ('95-'99): Tire switch question
#1
Tire switch question
I have a '98 monte with 225/60-16 ties and want to switch those out and put on 205/65-15. Would this be okay? I know the speedometer will read different than my actual speed but is there anything else I should know or be worried about? Thank you.

Yes, all LS Monte Carlos from 1995 to 1999 came standard with 15" steel wheels that each had a 205/70R-15 tire.
So 205/65R-15 tires all around would work, even though they're a little different in height, which would throw off the speedometer a little. And if they're just snow tires for the winter season, it shouldn't be a real problem anyway. The 5th-gen Monte Carlo chassis is designed to work with either 15" or 16" wheel/tire combinations.
