Tire Question....

[roclist@accessconsulting.ca (Jason Adams)]

I dunno about Michelin or dunlop in that size, but I can tell you I'd never
buy a 195/60 from toyo again...  turned my GTI into a wallowing pig in the
corners....not to mention it howled like a banchee!

I'm running Falken Zeix 502's in stock size on my roc and am happy with
them, was also happy with the pirelli p600's, I'd say the dunlop is a
comparable tire...

If you can get the mich's in a 50 or 55 series maybye...

You should really try and go for at least a +1 fittment, cause 195/50 r15's
are a real good bang for your bucks....
