nitto vs falkin
I've got 15" rims on my del sol and its fairly low.
i used to run with 195/45 falkin ziex 912s, but i recently switched to 205/50 neogens ( both all season tires)
now i've noticed a fairly significant change in the handling of my car. i was wondering if the size of the nitto had anything to do with it? or if its just the make up of the new tire?

Re: nitto vs falkin
change in handling as in taking a hard turn my car seems to have less grip - like the tire is to big for my rim
can't really figure out how to explain it -.-

Re: nitto vs falkin
Can you explain it more in details for us. If you are having problems on gripping more on the road, try the Azenis, lots of grips. NeoGen's are made for ONLY lowered rides.

It could be a lot of things. Neither tire is all that grippy to begin with. But that's what all-seasons are all about. The ability to be used in snow as well as in moderate to warm temperatures is what all-seasons are for; in exchange, they sacrifice performance in moderate to warm temperatures (compared with summer tires). It's quite possible that the Neogen doesn't grip as well as the Falken Ziex, but again, they're both basically crappy tires. The temperature could have something to do with it - comparing the Neogens in cold weather against the Ziex in warm weather, for example.
Also, 205/50-15 is TOO BIG for your del sol, just like 195/45-15 is TOO SMALL. Why didn't you buy the correct size tire for your car, which is 195/50-15?
