IMHO, it's decidedly dicey to drive on 165's. Mine with a 1.8L and a stock swaybar would wiggle like a fish on spirited driving through S curves. It responded fine to appropriate throttle and steering input, but polar moment of inertia is so short that you have to react pretty quickly to keep the front end pointed frontwards... Switching to 205's helped a lot. On 205's all around I couldn't make things interesting on anything close to sane street speeds. |
