alright so my used tires are becoming more worn. its time to get some new shoes

i currently run 195/50/15 yokohama
i am lowered on tein s techs, there are about 2 fingers height in the front, and 1.5 in the rear

i wanted a tire that can fill the gap a little better, any suggestions?

do i want to run 195 55s?
do i want to run 205 50s?

what's your brand and how do they run for you? performance and sound wise.

 

If you're looking for a nice grip tire the nitto Neo Gens are pretty bad ass. Granted if you really drive spirited they don't last very long but I think we've had the same set on my friends Camaro for about 20k miles now and she drives pretty relaxed. Not too loud, and perform well. I'll probably put some on the fit when I get a slightly wider 15" rim. Good luck!

 

How are they in the rain. An what size you Rec?

 

For rain I've had better. But they are high performance tires so with that in mind they really are pretty good or at least the Neo Gens are.

Since you're on a 15" rim your only option for the Neo Gens is the 205/50R15. If you went to a 16" rim you'd have a few more options. One thing I'd recommend is to see how well that 205/50 would fit the stock rim, I don't think it's quite wide enough for that tire even though I don't know much when it comes to all that stuff. My friend didn't recommend going to them till I had at least a 6.5" or preferably a 7.5" wide rim.

 

try the Fusion tires by Bridgestone. i had them on my GD and they actually gripped pretty damn well dry and wet. you can buy them at TireRack. talk to alex x294.

 

Alright thanks I'll do some homework on em. How was the thread life?

I'm not on the stock steroids I have 15x7 rims haha but idk. I've heard and seen 205 makes some of these fits so much slower

 

Wouldn't surprise me as it has got a bit of meat to it. Slow car though, might as well give it everything through the turns and hope to God that they're 'Murican straight line drivers

 

actually they were pretty good. i drove 15K+ miles spritedly (strong emphasis on spiritedly) and still had about 40% left.

 

AnyOne have 195 55s?

 

i have 205/50/16 bridgestone potenza re760 sports on my stockies. love them traction wise (on the street) and they're pretty quiet so i'm not complaining.

 

Does your car feel heavy or like bulky with those tires on?
