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) |
