http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes....=Potenza+RE010

195-55-15's are V rated. (max 149mph)

All the other sizes (all larger) are Z.

Looks like they have 205/50-ZR15's also. They are directional (i.e., specific left and right tires) and cost $141 each. At least a tiny bit cheaper. I'm guessing they'd be loosey goosey on the ITR rims, considering that the 195/55's are perfect for the itr rim. Anyone have any experience with the Re-010 205/50's??

Not a good idea to mount these are the R. Ther were specifically designed for the NSX as front tires. They have camber built in to them and do not handle well when put on the Integra.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. They should really provide that kind of info on places like tirerack. Any random customer may find that tire and think "hey, it's close enough (size wise) and for less. I think I'll get those!". Anyhoo... 195/55 010's are too much cashola for me.
