I just put 195's on mine last month. These are Goodyear Eagle GTs that I got from TireRack.com. I'm not sure about going any wider with the stock rim because it would look too bulbous coming out from the rim...but that is my opinion. The 195s give just enough width to get away from the donut look that the OEM tires provided.

Need pics!
What profile on the 205s?
Are you happy with cornering/driving feel?
Happy with appearance?

I have some crappy shots, but I'm currently working on a coworker's computer and don't want to load anything on her computer from my camera. Guess you guys will have to wait a few more days :biggrin: Maybe not until Monday. I will be fishing at Big Bear Lake saturday and then down in San Diego with the girlfriend for Comic-Con.

Canadian Tire sells their Motomaster SE in a 195/55/15, and come on sale frequently in the fall, second tire half price.

If I keep these rims, that's the tire I'll get.
Otherwise, snows will go on the factory rims, 185/65/15.

I've got 185/65/15 as my snows. Bought the rims from Canadian Tire to go with them. They handle very well in the winter.

Any difference with the handling? Currently on my stock tires and my car seems to follow all the grooves on the road.

Sorry, stopped checking these car forums ever since I stopped modding cars.

As for following the groove, my new tires don't have that problem. These are really good and have only hit its maximum traction point a few times no matter how hard I try taking corners.
