You are now chatting with 'Julian'
Julian: Hi, how can I help you today?
Michael: I'm looking for tires that are available for a sports car in the
following combination
Michael: 215-60-15 & 255 -60-15 / 275-55-15
Michael: speed rated if possible
Julian: Well we don't sell anything in a 275/55 size and only one in a
255/60 so the matching set would be here - click here
<http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?frontWidth=215%2F&frontRatio=60&frontDiameter=15&rearWidth=255%2F&rearRatio=60&rearDiameter=15&zip-code=20110>
Michael: is that it
Michael: pirelli, avon, michelin???
Julian: Yes sir
Julian: We only sell a single model in the 255/60 size
Michael: 295-50-15
Michael: 235-55-15
Julian: Same tire - click here
<http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=Radial%20T/A&partnum=95SR5RADTARWL2V2&tab=Survey>
Julian: Nothing in a 235/55
Michael: not a huge choice, what are 60 and 70's car people doing
Julian: Pretty much that BFG
Michael: Ok, Thanks
