I am going to get new tires on my 04 grand am. The car came with Eagle good
year's. I am thinking about going with slightly bigger tires than the
originals, anyway my question would be to anyone that has done this, how did
it work out and should I go ahead and go with bigger tires to get a little
more height or just stay with the same size?? thanks 205/65/15 are the
current tire size.

Why do you want more height? That will most likely worsen performance.
Usually you want a lower profile tire that is wider. In your case, maybe a
215/60/15 or 225/60/15.

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about it, more my brothers idea than
mine, who is a truck guy. I'll probably go with the same size or wider.
