Time to replace the old 165 x 15 Michelin XAS tires. Hard as a rock.
Looking at 175/65 or 185/65 as replacement tires on standard Fuchs rims. Which one will look better on the car? Tire size calculator on the site shows both of these slightly smaller in over all height than the orig 165x15's. Looking for opinions. Would the car drive any differently with either of these compared to the stock tire size? Anyone know anything about Falken Ziex tires - good?, bad? Thanks. Ed |

Haven't tried every other tire to compare, but the last (not current) model Falken Azenis worked great for me. California, so extreme performance summer and no wet roads, but I was happy and I think my son still holds at least one track record using them. Switched to Kumho Ecsta XS, maybe a little less stick at the extremes, but an overall smoother tire.
