You can get a deal on S0-3s though.......I backed out of buying them from the rack the other day for $75 each and opted for the new dunlop FMs instead (proper size)

I'll have a report after I mount them today.

Maybe 195/55 15, but I doubt you can find 195/50 15. I don't think they ever made it.

I use 195/50-15 Yokohama AVS intermediates and would not hesitate recommending them to other ITR owners. Fantastic value and performance if you can still find them. Just be aware that your speedometer may be off...a 9% difference I believe. Your speedo will read high but your gearing will tighten up slightly as well.

Tire Rack has S0-3s in 195-50-15 for $75 each. I would have ordered them myself, but they were out of stock for a few days when I went to order.

Instead I ordered Dunlop FM901s for $62 each. For the money they seem to be exceptional. I know they probably don't grip and turn in as well as the Azenis, but that is what the second set of rims and Hoosiers are for .

My Speedo stays accurate and they are actually a little more quite and have a better ride the RE010s.

I just got some Bridgestone RE730's in 195/50/15, very nice tire, I highly recommend them if you are looking at that size. nice grippy tire.

If you're talking about the Dunlops in the same 195/50-15 size, then your speedometer and odometer will read 3.27 percent faster than it would with the stock 195/55-15 size.

Stock size. The only reason the 195-50s were being contemplated was due the S0-3s being offered at 50% off.
