Hey people,
I have stock 15" rims with wheel covers which sucks, but I can't do anything about it atm. I have toyo proxies 4's on there right now which are 205/55r15's v-rated. They royally suck... The goodyear's that were 195/55r15 I had when I got it were SOOOOOO much better. So anyways, I need a change. I'm looking at Michelin Pilot exalto 205/55r15's. What's your guys opinions? What has served you well? I want something with good handling and still good tread life. Is 205/55r15 the best size? Let me know! Thanks! |

As richee3 states it is an odball size so I went ahead and went to 205 50 15 I don't have abs or anything so it didn't do any damage anywhere the sidewall is more stiff therefore less tireflex or canyons auto x and such but for a straight away I would want to jump back to the 55 profile but that's personal preference
