i am buying tires for my 2010 rt. either 1656514 for the front and 2056015 for the rear. my other consideration is 1856014 front and 2156015 for the rear for a bigger footprint. has anyone used this larger combination? the tires will be vredestein on the front and general altimax rt43 rear. i assume with the larger footprint wont have a tendency to hydroplane more than the first consideration.

I run the 215/60R15 General Altimax on the rear with the Federal Formozas on the front in 165/55R15. It’s a great combination

Those choices are very, very good ( if Vredestein Quatrac 5 ) ….. I agree, generally speaking wider tires Hydroplane sooner. But considering your tire width choices, making that a consideration really isn't worth worrying about ….. PS - the Quatrac 5 model comes in 14in. dia. and has front tires as narrow as 145 that will work nice with your 2010 RT …… Mike :ohyea:
