Two questions, one I want to get rid of the 16s and go to some SSR 15's.
So i was looking at tires. and i wanted to know which would be better 195 50 15 or 205 50 15. most tires i looked at are availabe in both so i just wanted to know what might be better.
Second question and this will be a poll. I wanted to know which tires might be best. I've had experience with two but wanted to know opinions and experiences.
I'm looking at:
Kumho Ecsta ASX. I had these on on my old accord and they had exceptional grip for a 3500 ibs car.
Nitto Neo Gen. I've had a little experience with these seeing as how they are on the back tires of my hatch. i like them and they seem to have pretty decent grip.
BFGoodrich g-Force Sport. no experience with these but heard they're good

I love Toyo Proxies4. They are good in the Snow, the Ice, Rain, and in the Dry. I have them on my EJ Coupe and my DC4 Integra LS, My next set of tires will most likely be anouther set of Toyo Proxies4. Highly Recommended.

Iv got 16x7 g-force sports on my boosted sentra around 225whp and it hooks up almost perfect in 2nd gear and holds very well in corners, don't need any heat up time and are very good in water. They also look very nice.

My vote for sure, I will be getting another set, first time I would ever get the same tire twice.

I have a set of kuhmo ecsta ast and I have never had a problem with them. They do pretty good in the rain.

what i don't get is, the AST's look a lot more aggressive tread wise but the ASX have higher ratings all the way around

its just funny cause the AST look like they would be the higher performance tire but oh well. I've got time to decide so
