I have three fucking choices in tires between every fucking tire shop in Pittsburgh…

I’m getting BFGoodrich Traction T/As because they were the MIDDLE choice between some funky Kumhos and some $150 Michelins… dammit.

just run 195 50’s or 185 60 or something similar.

or order online from a tire depot and don’t worry about lack of local inventory.

you can also get 205/50/15 tons of stuff comes in that size…i think there is only liek a 1-2% difference in height.

my wife runs 195/55 in the fall/winter & 205/50 in the spring/summer

You can adjust your tire size by two legally and without a significant adverse affect to the perfomance or mechanical well being. I thought you knew that…

2: I’m going with OEM sizing.

Were they “power stars” or the 732 touring ones? I really liked the set of 732s that i had, and they were super cheap.

i forgot to say for the price…i’m sure there are better “ultra” high performance all-seasons but not in the $55-60 range.

its a good all around budget tire…dry, wet & snow.
