I'm shopping for tires now. I have found a few interesting tires in 195/55/15, but was wondering about 205/50/15. I know clearence for 205/50's depend on tire and car, but regardless of clearence what would work better on a stock powered 1.8 with koni's, sway bar slightly lowered etc. I know that fatter tires dont always equate to better performance. Should I consider 195/50/15's to minimize rotational weight on my stock powered car?

Looking for dry weather tire I can use on street and for AX.
