If you already have a dedicated set of track wheels get something that's good in the rain/inclement weather for your daily set. If you don't, you'll need to get something halfway in between, like the Kumho MX, Hankook RS2, etc

Kumho makes very nice all seasons, it's the ASX model. I just ordered a set in 205/50-15 it was $288 with free shipping.

what is the difference between 205-50-15 and 195-55-15? is it the diameter of the tire? which is the height?
