My GF has 195 60 14's Ziex 512's her a3 and they are pretty good.  They have
decent grip and are good in the rain.  Not so good in the snow, but she has
snows anyways.  Definatley a great tire for the price, but they are not to
replace some of the true performance tires (at much higher prices).

What a great endorsement...

Thanks Tony!
