Here is my question I have been doing alotof research and I want to know what you guys think of what tire is the best for summer that is is sticky and which tires are the widest for the best traction?

The proper size tire depends on the kind of car you have (model, version, year). You could share this information with us and we could answer your question, or you could continue to keep it a secret.

No, it's not. It's really crappy. And 205/60-15 is much too big.

The best 15" size for your car is 195/50-15. Get the Goodyear F1 GS-D3; it's the best street tire available in that size. Read more here.
