Ive had a set of those Falkens before on my Celica GT and I loved them, they're a very confident tire, comfortable too....I would recommend them. I cant speak for the others tho.

"Not lowered yet". Are you planning to go lower? You should! 205/60 15 will have a pretty tall sidewall. 205/55 is better... 225/50 will fit, despite what tire rack tells you Yes, it is harder to turn and you lose an mpg or so. I agree, Falken 912 are great! No squealing at all.

LOL Yo, Anthony your alway looking for tires Long time no speak. Did ya move to Atlanta yet? I thought u had an silver xB not a bB

Optional Tire Sizes
195/55/15
195/60-15
205/55/15


Are you looking for an all season tire? Which I think would provide better threadwear life.

I usually buy + save money by purchasing tires online and search for local tire repair shop = cheap$$ install/speed balance. Prices can vary for $15-$25 ea tire.

I also find Tirebuyer.com couple dollars cheaper than Tirerack.com delivered. And look at the reviews + take an educated guess on the better tire.

Good Luck + Hope everything is well with your family
