I searched and searched and so far ive heard that we can put 205/55 15 or 205/50 15 on our stock OZ rims. (the stock tire size is 196/60 15). Which one is it?? I wouldn't want to through off my speedodometer so a tire with a sidewall close to the stock size is best right?? I narrowed my choices down to...
- Kumho ECSTA 711 (High Performance Summer)........................$54 each. (Tirerack)
- Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 (Ultra High Performance Summer).....$61 (Tirerack)
- Fuzion ZRi (Ultra High Performance Summer)............................$62 (Tirerack)
- BFGoodrich G-Force Sport (Ultra High Performance Summer)....$67 (Tirerack)
- Kumho ECSTA SPT (Ultra High Performance SUmmer)................$67 (Tirerack)

Could you guys post your opinions on these tires and if possible the pros and cons with each of them? THANKS!!

I previously ran a 205/60/15 tire and I believe that made the speedo run slower than I was actually going. It also rubbed a bit on sharp small turns like parking. It was completely the wrong tire size but was looking for a broader tire at the time.

I changed to the Kumho Spt's from Tirerack in size 205/55/15 and they are supposed to be speedo compatible.

I've had great performance in both dry and especially wet weather. I have a review of them in this forum if you want to search for it. I don't have experience with any of the other tires but I'm sure you can't go wrong with them.

Stock size is 195/60/15.
