Anyone have to buy a stock replacement tire yet? I got a flat yesterday and tried to buy another of the same tire it came with, the MXV4 V rated 195/60/15. Michelin apparently doesn't make it any longer, they've gone to the MXV4 Plus. I paid $136.00 for the tire!!! Damn, you could get a better brand for much less!!! WTF? It's kind of odd to have a brand new car with tires that are no longer available. Lame.

could I throw a 50 series or 55 series tire on our stock rims?

if you can fit 215's on there with a 55 series it be the closest in diameter:
