Tires???

[KOnahic]

I realize this will probably open a can of worms, but what are people running for tires these days. My 7, when I bought it, came with a set of 205/45/16's on it and it is just too much tire. I know originally, they came with 185/70/13's. I'd like to mount a set of Panasports with some mid range sticky in the 14' or 15" size. My thinking is, I'd like to eliminate some of the sidewall flex, yet keep some of it for a smoother ride. Yes, I want my cake and I wanna eat it too. Anyone got any ideas? I tried surfing Avon, Tire Rack, Goodyear & Perelli's websites & all I got was frustrated.

Thanks, Kurt

I switched over from AVON CR500's which originally came with the car to Toyo R888's. A bit heavier but just as sticky. 13 inch rims. 205's on the back and 185s on the front. Tom

how about 15" wheels? what's the optimum tire size?

I used Toyo Ri's 205/50-15's all around. Not sure if they were optimal.

I am using 15X7 Panasports and 195/45/15 Toto Proxes T1-R They were about $56 each-look smaller than 205/50/15 they replaced--happy enough.
