ill put my two cents in for the 195's, with your wheels. they are only 6" wide, and the 205's will be too big...too much of the balloning effect. too squirrley on the turns. course, stretching a tire is just as bad...too tight on turns...i had a set of 15x7 moda's and then a set of 15x6.5 stock gti wheels, and 195/50 8000's on both. the thinner wheels handled better and were more forgiving. > I'm more than likely going to go with Pirelli P700-Z's(what I have now), FYI, i had those tires and SP8000's back to back on the same wheels on the same day. hands down, the 8000's take the cake home. poor weather driving differences are unnoticible (if there are any) but i dont push it in the rain. we all know about those tires and snow, of course... unless you spend close to twice the money, you will NOT find a better dry handling street tire than an SP8000. (except mabey those DOT race tires, but i dunno how much they cost.) if you wanna spend the money, im sold on michelin pilots. better dry than the 8000's (had them back to back on my car, but with different wheels) and they last longer too. (the guy with the pilots said he gets 40k out of em. i can only muster about 20k out of 8000's....with an occasional autrocross, of course) > I like the lower look of the 195 better personally. remember: function before form....function before form.... ben randolph 92 16v gti (w/ only one set of wheels now...snowflakes!) _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
