Are there Azenis tires in a Z rated version in 195/50/15 size all the sites I've seen show the Z rated version in a 16" or larger rim

 

Correction Z rating is rated 149MPH and above a few $ more is well worth the safety margin given the potentially hurtful results of a blow out at high speed.

 

Since when did the azenis come in a 195/50/15?

 

yeah mang 195/50/15 ???? does the noobie meen 205/50/15?????????

 

Z rated is 16 and up only. The closest size that they have to what you're talkign about is V rated 205/50 15. They used to make 195/55 15, but they don't anymore.

 

The Z rating is useless nowadays. Z rating means 240+ km/h and doesn't say what the max speed is. What you want is W or Y rating. Read this http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete...eral/speed.htm

"While all Z-speed rated tires are capable of speeds of 149 mph and above, prior to the W- and Y-speed ratings were identified in the service, how far above 149 mph was not identified."
