this, 205 will be nice on a 6.5 inch rim, give it a little extra rubber than 195's

yep im running 205/55 and they are awesome, i went with the yokohama s. drive tires..although my next tire will be the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec in 205/50

there arent many tires out there in the 205/55 size :(

You could go 205/60/15. Thats what I'm running right now. Looks fat as hell, but I don't mind. haha

you didnt ask about brands, you asked about tire size...

my vote for tires is if its an all season, go with the goodyear eagle gt...falken can make a good tire, so theres nothing wrong with that either

just dont buy kumhos...they are terrible death traps IMO

the falken 912's are great tires. i'll never get the falken 512's again though. they rode/handled horribly and wore out extremely fast.

the Goodyear Eagle GT's are a great choice! Also, the BFGoodrich G-Force Sports are made in these sizes and are an extremely great value. i'd also recommend those. my set of G-Forces lasted me around 27k miles :meek:

205/55/15 g force sports are the nicest tires ive had so far out of falken 912 and dunlop direzzas dz101...i would try the sdrives too heard they were legit.
