195/50/15 on Fusch Rims,
2.0 F.I. (74") Buying tires; hoping to get feedback from anyone running these, how do you like them & what kind of driving do you do? i.e. hockey pucking around town & countryside's with a lot of turns & some steep grades??, or mad crazy city driving (<45 mph, stops, fast accelerations, corners, burn outs)??, or freeway driving longer than 4 hours in a lot of traffic with say more than 1 lane??, or long highway drive's like 18 hours??. (I primarily drive around town & countrysides, lots of corners, grades, lots of speed) to get to closest city's it is 3 hours away, & 6 hours away; which I would like to do as well. I'm looking for the best of both worlds. Please if anybody has any suggestions..... thanks much in advance. |

I had 195/50s on my car. I liked them, especially for autoX. The lower gearing was good for launching out of the corners. The ride could be pretty harsh, though. And it did get kind of old having to run ~4000 RPM to keep up with freeway traffic.
