I've got about 4,000 miles on a set of BF Goodrich Advantage T/As (195/65R15) that I purchased on sale at Costco about a year ago. I believe these closely match the original tire size but just wider. I must say that I'm really impressed. They're very quiet yet perform very well. Longevity has yet to be proven. However, at that kind of mileage, it'll take me 10 years to get to 40,000 miles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

They are good tires, but definitely not in the same performance class as a high performance summer only tire. They will squeal a lot when you get close to the limit. But they are a really good tire for a driver. If you are looking for max performance, look for the tire used on a Miata for autocross. They use the same 15 inch rims on a Miata. Hope that helps!
