I almost tacked this on to one of the many existing tire threads
But I found that the OP typically just had a question or two and then floodgates open on the best combo of rim and tire size 195/65's come up all the time because they have a larger footprint then stock but are pretty close to stock height Everyone who has shopped for this size knows that high performance summer tires pretty much don't exist with the alternative being bland all-season tires I have Eagle GT's on the car now, but while they have worn great and evenly, they won't pass inspection this year So with the big name tire manufacturers not providing anything interesting in this size, I decided to see what the small or off brand tire manufacturers had The first tire I landed on was the Accelera 951 that I found at multiple online retailers for cheap They were discontinued and therefore maybe a little older date code, but the reality was that nobody actually had them in stock (I had to place orders to find out as nobody answers email these days) So I think I found a couple of good choices, but landed on this one Before I reveal the brand or comment on it myself, I am just going to post some pictures of the tire - post what you think Attached image(s) |

What's all this then? Group: Members Posts: 371 Joined: 26-May 04 From: Cheyenne, WY Member No.: 2,108 Region Association: Rocky Mountains |
Timely as I've been shopping recently for that size. The best I came up with was the Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring @ $86 which probably falls into the "bland all-season" category. I'll be interested in seeing what you've come up with.
