Okay, I am tired of trying to find what I am looking for in the old threads. I need new tires for Betsy and I run 205/50/15 on my other teeners. I am afraid this will have her sitting too low for the towbar brackets that I have drug a few times already with 195/60/15s. Front struts are shot and bottomed out so new struts will probably stop that but I want a wider tire without going too low profile. I have decided to just keep her as a street driver and no ax so what say the masses? Which tire size would you suggest? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The Eagle GT was my second pic behind the Bridgestone, since they both come in a 195/65/15 as well. Heads up, the Bridgestone beat the Eagle GT across the board on TireRack surveys. Looking back, the GT may be a better performance tire. Opinions depend on the car and driver. It sure has better looks. TireRack has a $40 rebate going on a set right now if that puts you over the edge.
