Default Falken Ziex 512's on OEM Blades | Decisions

It boils down to these options. Currently, I'm running a nearly bald set of 195/55/15 Michelin XGT-V4's. Please select which you feel would be the best fit for OEM blades. If you can, please list a reason for your choice.

Thanks, guys.

Is your car lowered? Or stock height?

The reason I am asking is because if you are stock height then you might want to go with a 205 60 tire, this will decrease you fender gap since the side wall is higher. However if you are lowered then a 205 50 might be the way to go

either way i recommend the 205 tire

i'm personally running h&r OEs with tokico blues...about 1" drop and about the same drop you'd experience with the ITR setup.

go for 205/50 because it's the closest to rolling stock diameter...you don't wanna mess with speedo error, gearing, etc.

205/60 is going to look like poop. 205/50 looks perfect (IMO). Just enough rubber. 195/50 look like rubber bands (IMO).
