I dont have an ARRRRR but I would like to know what everyones opinion is on what they think the best 195/50/15 tire is. I did a search and didnt quit find what I was looking for. I need some new tires for my SE-R and with the rims that I have on there I dont think I can fit 205/50/15's so Im opting to go with the 195's. I dont really do any type of road racing but I do hit up the drag strip from time to time. I really dont want to buy the most expensive but I want something that has good performance. So what is the best fella's?

 

for best price and best performance...it has to be azenis

 

They dont make a 195/50/15 Azenis do they. If they do I havent seen any?

 

Azenis are heavy, sloppy and suck in the rain, but they grip hella good on the 1/4 track

yeah, its pretty bad in rain.
i think they do sell 195/60/15 but i dont know about 195/55-50/15

 

I dont think I want to go any bigger than the 50's. Im thinking that maybe the 60's will be to tall. Anyone else what is your $0.02 worth on the best 195/50/15 for the money?

Best tires... um... performance Tires, uh?
performance on Snow? Dry pavement? Wet?
There are many kind of tires.. Winter Tires, Summer, All Season, etc..

Just Be more specific when you asked.. hehe..

let me answer.. hm.. Artic Alpins are performing good in Snow.
but I don't use it when I auto-x

 

I love falken period.

 

195/50/15 is better than 205? Pardon my ignorance but is a narrower tire better?

 

pirelli p700z?
toyo t1-s?

It can be when you have narrow wheels.

 

If your going with a 195/50/15 go with the Bridgestone s03's. Not too expensive and everyone raves about their performance (especially the wet).

Depends on what you want.

If you've got a more narrow wheel, the turn in and steering response will be faster.

 

Well like I said not any auto X'n mainly just for quick acceleration in straight lines. I just want something that when I drive my car out on the street it isnt gonna break traction constantly. My car should be making somewhere in the 200 whp area in the near future so that can give you ITR guys an idea of what would be good for my car. Because it seems like all of you can got 200whp or close to it. haha
