How about 215/80/15's rather than 215/75/15's? Choice of tread pattern is a bit limited but the size is good!

Also i was changing my spark plugs the othr dau and they were all fine apart from the last one . The firing end of it was covered in oil and when i start the car white smoke shoots out of the exhaust, i was wondering if any of you guys have had this happen to you and if you know how to fix it?

Was it the rear one (Number 4)?

I believe that this end of the engine suffers most from oil feed problems and headgasket problems. Does the smoke clear, is the engine using oil and water?

Really??
