You bought the tires & then asked for reviews?

Seems backwards to me.

Bump for answers.

they're prety good tires. they'll last a good amount of time, but the downside is that they aren't the stickiest of tires..

for the money they are good tires i give them 6 out of 10.

i had 215-45-17's low noise good grip,they have a squishy sidewall tho.

:mrolleyes: those michillins are a better tire overall in terms of wet traction, stability at higher speeds, and longevity. plus they have full depth sipes so you get good grip for the whole tread life. i'd give them a 7. the kumho's are better dry grip but wet traction and stability at higher speeds is less. i'd give them a 5.5-6.. in terms of size, the 205/55-16's have a 112.75mm sidewall while the 205/50-16's have a 102.5mm sidewall. so about a cm smaller.. will look good with a nice drop and tire tuck in the rear :mcool:.

+1 for the squishy side walls. they are an allseason though.
