My car has 205/50/15's on it which make it squirt out of a turn from low speeds. OTOH, the ride isn't the finest but I can live with it because I have cars that ride nice.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I've come down with some choices mostly based on dry grip and not so much about ride quality. Sizes are limited. Dunlop Direzza in 205/55/15 to add some height (although a 50 series is fun!) G-FORCE SPORT COMP-2 - SIZE: 195/55R15 because that's all they make Pirelli P6000 185/70/15 Avon in either 175/70/15 or 185/70/15 I'm familiar with the Avon from friends who run them on early 911's. There's a guy who uses them on 4.5 Fuchs in the 175 size and they say he's not easy to get away from on a back road. Opinions welcome.     |
