Need some help with tires i want to buy a set of 205/60/15 for my bB. Right now i have after market wheels 15x7 with 195/60/15 & i am not lowerd YET!. My question is if i buy the 205/60/15 would i have problems with turning Left or Right (or) should i go with the 205/55/15 or just stay with 195/60/15.

My next Question is i need a good tire that i can put miles on it i will be going to NY and back to ATL i've been looking at

1) Falken (ZE 912) - (ZE329)
2) Dunlop (Signature)
3) Bridgestone (Turanza Serenity)
4) Firestone (Firehawk GTv)

And they need to be reliable and quite.

Hope anyone can help me PLEASE!!!

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.

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
