Which tire size better for daily driving
Sorry I searched but came empty handed...
Which is better for daily driving 195/55-15 or 205/50-15? How's the handling on the 205s? Also I searched for 205/45-15 tires and none came up on http://www.tires.com.
TIA!

i got 205/50/15's on my daily driver. Feels good and got mad grip. 195's are a lil more low profile, hence a lil ruffer ride. If ya get a flat you dont want a low profile tire. Ya rim will get wasted faster.

What tires are you guys rolling with? Most of the one I see are either H or V rated and the only ZR tires I saw were Dunlop Sport 9000 but they cost like 133 a piece....almost the same price I payed for my old 17" Potenza 930s, in which it's comparable but we're talking about 15"s in which I feel it should be cheaper.....
Anyway, I'm looking at either Nitto 450 P205/50R-15 84V or Falken Ziex ZE-512 205/15R-15 86H B. Heard anything good or bad about them?

....hmmm I just went to tires.com and was looking on the Visa tires and upon further research I found that they are distributed by falken....anybody has any feedback regarding these tires? I'm looking at the threadwear and it's pretty good (340AA)

If you have enough power a larger wheel is really comfy. Been running 16s with 245/50s for a month now. SO much quieter and feels so smooth. Not to mention the cars handling is sick!
