Re: Street Tire options (ITR Demon)
you DO NOT want those tires 
S-03 you DO
but for 46 dollars each for P700 , you shouldnt even think about anything else
VERY good GRIP, not much life

For Street tire on stock wheels:
Bridgestone RE010 195-55-15 can't be matched. Any other 195-55-15 won't be as good. If going with 205-50-15 - i wouldn't recommend that size for 15x6 rim.

Re: Street Tire options (Champ R)
I have 205-50-15 S-03's on 15x6.5 right now and its still feels kinda sloppy. It has stronger sidewall than RE010, it also seems wider than other 205 tires, therefore I would recommend at least 15x7 rim for S03's. They don't wear out as fast as RE010, have great wet traction. I wouldn't even try these on stock wheels, these who tried happy with it, fine with me. I tried toyo v rated 205-50-15 - the worst tire yet, soft sidewall feels very sloppy. They do have decent road grip in straight acceleration.
btw.. S-03's in 195-50-15 do not match "max load" per tire. - it might not be safe
Excluding racing tires, you will have better handling when tire size/wheel size matched well, Honda did great job with RE010 with 15x6 - If there is a better tire for that wheel, it would have to be same size as RE010.

Re: Street Tire options (buji)
So 205's suck on stock wheels, but are good on 15x7.
How much extra weight are we talking for the wider rims and wider tires?

Potenza SO-3's in 195/50. Better all around than RE010's and $86 at tirerack.

Re: Street Tire options (ActiveAero Ninja Edition)
I made some phone calls today And found someone selling Toyo T1s they have less then 1000Km on them and he wants 200 canadian $ (about 120 $ ) for all 4. The thing is they are 205/50-15...witch are recommended for 6.5'' wheels. But as some of you mentioned it is better to keep 195/55-15 on stock wheels. My question is will performances suffer alot? Could it be dangerous or something?
I would really like to buy those tires since i'm on a tight budget at the moment...I'd at least keep'em till the end of summer.
Do you guys think I should do it?

Re: Street Tire options (Montreal R)
well that seems like a good deal i got my T1s 195-55-15 last week for 759 CAD with balance and mounting and tax.. so i guess it's about 506 US for all 4

The S-03 195/50R15 is perfect for stock rims, if you don't mind the speedo inaccuracy.....

Re: Street Tire options (George Knighton)
Dunlop SP Sport 8000's, been runing them on the street for a couple of months now and i am really impressed with them on a dry road, haven't had the chance to test them out in the rain yet.
