I have always used 195/50's, but am considering switching to 205/50. What setup is best for street?

 

yeah i was gonna say go w/ 205/50/15's.. i was just looking at tires yesterday on tire rack (205/45/16 Dunlop SP9000's).. tried to order.. and they said there was a "price discrepancy" and to call them.. wtf?

i just searched in that (205/50/15) size (on tirerack.com):
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...peed_rating=ZR

Dunlop SP9000 - this is wierd.. it has 2 prices.. $120 (low stock) $135 (in stock).. for the $120.. do they put u on sum layaway/wait list? or is that an error????

actually it still says that (for the 205/45/16s i was lookin at) wtf?:

We are unable to accept this order at this time due to a pricing discrepency.

I've used 205/50 ever since I got the car...looks good, and is nice and wide.
I have the Falken..uhhh...RE110's or something like that..they were $55 each at discount tire (brick and mortar, not online)

 

I use 205/50 R 15 on my car. It is a nice wide tire. Definately go with that.

 

will 205/50 fit on a 14" stock integra rim?

 

with 195/50, your speedometer will be erroneous. I would suggest keeping the stock 195/55 or going to 205/50.
