I need new tires...I want to go with 205/50/15's but due to the rim offset, i think I should stay with the current 195/60/15's (15x5.5 Enkies) (picture later)
Tire Rack has these Sumitomo's HTR 200's for 39 bucks a pop...the Yok. AVS Inter. are 48 each for the same size Mike |

Mike,
I bought those tires from TireRack this summer in the 195/65/15 size. I haven't had much time to play around with them yet. Yes the price is very cheap. They look nice, are a three season tire and I think they are pretty darn quiet at freeway speeds. When I got the wheels balanced, they didn't need much weights, if that means anything. The sidewall seems a little soft and flexible, but that could be because I went with the 65's. For what I bought them for, I like them. Did I mention they were cheap?
