Default Time for new Tires

well its time for new tires..... mine are pretty much down to nothing..... they look like slicks! lol! well anyways which do you think i should get?

Now i've heard that the Yokohama's only last like 5,000mi before they start to wear and become complete crap, i am sort of leaning toward the Kumho's but I wanted some more opinions.

also just another question will i have problems with the difference in tire size, right now i have 195/60 R15's on, and i want to goto 195/55 R15 will i have any problems?(they are going on the stock steelies)

You shouldnt have any clearance problems at all but the speedometer might read different i dont know but clearances will be more.

honestly, i bought the BF Goodrich T/A Ts. about 65 bucks each depending on where you get them. they are actually very good in ALL driving conditions (we get sucky winters here). size difference shouldnt make a huge impact on speedo, especially at lower speeds. probably a few mph at highway speeds. difference will grow the faster you go.

also, you have 15" steelies??? unusual than the common 14" steelies. anyhow, i had 195s on my SE i had 14" steelies. no problems with them at all. i bought Dunlop Sport A2s, alot for the money for those tires. if they still are around i would reccomend them

you can get all kind of good reviews on www.tirerack.com
rated by those who have bought them. those BF Goodrich T/A got the best reviews, and they werent even near the most expensive
