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. |

I've pretty much decided to go with the falken azenis in 205/50 for my next tire, just from what i have heard they are great dry tire and the fact that my car never gets driven in rain. However I have a silly question. Right now I have 205/60's BFG TA's all around and they just fit. My logic tells me going to a shorter tire (50 series) will free up room not the other way around. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . I know all tires are diffrent but in general if 60's fit so should 50's right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
