buying tires tommorow, any flaw in my desicion?
Im looking to order tires tommorow and im planning on getting
Kuhmo Estca Supra 712's
205/55-15's - on the stock 7 spoke alloy wheels
from what ive read this size compared to the 195/65-15 will fit and perform better for me both on the strip and at autox as well as better tire overall than the aquatreads that came with the car.

FWIW
a 205/60/15 is a better size match to the 195/65/15
outer diameters
195/65/15: 25.0in
205/60/15: 24.7in
205/55/15: 23.9in
I just moved from a 195/65 to a 205/60 and my speedo really isn't off at all
Dunlop Sp Sport A2 I really like them so far, but due to the large ammount of crappy weather we've been having, I can't say much about their dry performance. hopefully they will live up to their "high performance" classification. they definately live up to their "all season" label.
ride is pretty quiet
never had khumos, so I can't really compare them.

I thought our cars came w/ 195/60/15s stock. At least mine did. So I run 205/50/15 race tires to get a slightly shorter gear ratio. 205/55/15 should be the correct size to change to.

Mine are lasting about 30k, same size, same wheels. For the first 15k, I was moderate on the tires, driving hard occasionally. For the last 15k, I've been really easy on it, almost no hard driving.
