Default 195 60 15 Tires?

I want to keep the stock wheels, but am not a real fan of the stock tires. Not many options for 185 60 15. Has anyone gone to 195 60 15s? I am looking at the Goodyear Responsive Edge tire. Any thoughts or help appreciated.

I recently got some Yokohama Avid TRZ off tirerack.com in the stock size. They're much better than the OE Goodyear Eagle LS, have an asymetric tread, and were only $54/each. I'd recommend them as a cheap alternative to the ResponsEdge ($101/each).

Yep, I run this size. I love them! Muchmore stable much less drifting in corners. I went with Fuzion HRi, good tires and cheap!

I'm using Falken Ziex 512s in that size. I don't really like the way it looks. I'm not a big fan of skinny rubberband tires, but 195 60/15 is a little too tall for me. I'm going to try 205 55/15 next and see how it goes.

Very little difference in the tire diameters there, hnefrdo- only ~5/16"...

Default Thanks

Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice. I went with the 195 60 15s in the Goodyear Eagle ResposeEdge. They were a little pricey, but I am very happy. I think they will be a big improvement in the next rain. Thanks again!
