I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a tire buy and it really comes down to a small difference in size. I'm running 4-lug Mahles with 195-60-15s and I've been pleased with the looks and performance. I use the car as a 3-season dd, although I'm not big on driving in the rain if I have a choice. Wet traction is important though.
I'm leaning toward the Bridgestone Potenza 960AS but I've found that TireRack sells the 205-60-15 for $20 less per tire than the 195s. Is there much functional difference between the two sizes? Can't wait to get new skins on for some 'real world tire testing'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I need to replace mine too. 195 65's are what I'm looking for as well. Seems mostly to be touring tires in that size. The Vredestein Sprint Classic comes in the original size. I'm not ruling those out, but would prefer to find a 195 65 Dunlop that performs better.
