I need new tires!!! - HELP

[Trailblazer]

I have 195/60/15 on some aftermarket 15" Centerline wheels. The tires are BALD!!! I need some new tires.

Should I get 195/60/15 again or is there a different size I should go for for a better look and performance.

Thanks!

I had 205/60/R15's on my car before I upgraded to WRX wheels. They ran fine and looked nice. A nice H-Rated tire is what you should look into. Kuhmo...ect.

Do you care what kind of tires or just size?

I was looking into size mainly, the brand will come after that. I want to stay around $250-350 for the set. Closer to the $250 any suggestions would be great!

Summer, all season or winter?

Summer, all season or winter?

All-season. I was thinking of going from 60 to 55 for a little lower profile look.

I like the thicker tire look on NA's.

I defintely dont want to go bigger than 60 would going to 55 give me any performance improvements? Im on MSN messenger right now so we dont have to keep posting. THAWA? J-Money?

You kids and your need to go the speed limit.

who said anything about speed limit?

[scottzg]

A lower profile tire will squirm less and reduce the gear ratio; more power, less mpg, more shifting. going 60->55 wont be a giant change. Your speedo will be slightly off, and you might find that 55 is a nonstandard size and thus quite expensive, i dont know. Better tires will make a bigger difference for performance. It will definately "feel" better because of less sidewall flex, but it may not accurately reflect improved handling.

205-55-15 is a fairly uncommon size that will limit your options, bargain options especially

TB . . . if you don't mind driving to Seattle, I can get you a hookup for Bridgestone RE950 all-seasons. They're AMAZING TIRES, and my friend can get you out the door. . . OUT THE DOOR. . . for little more than what Tirerack charges. I'm talking about tires, mounting, balancing, road hazzard warranties on the set . . . all for that.

If you're interested, we'll nail-down a size and I'll get you an out-the-door quote.



Oh yeah. . .. as Laurel will likely say in a couple hours once she sees thread, "They're like sex".

Thanks for all your input.. I got a set of 02 WRX wheels with the RE92's on them. They are mint! He took them off before they even had 1000 miles on them. I paid $400 for them which I don't think was a bad deal considering the tires are pretty much new.
