i know that the max i can go on a 15 inch rim is 205/50/R15

right now i have 195/55/r15 dunlop sp sport fm901's that are mushy and wearing out

I need to get a set of 205/50/R15's but want good grip and wet grip and steering response

Here's some of my Choices

1:General Exclaim UHP

2:Kumho Ecsta SPT

3:Nitto Neogen

4:Dunlop Direzza

5 :Kumho Ecsta AST

they're real good grip

they're real good grip wise.

i don't really konw about wet traction cuz i get scared.

treadwear kinda sucks but its always the front ones that go bald while the back ones still look brand new and sometimes have the little stringy things on them. go figure.

overall they're a good tire for the money IMO

I dont know if you have got your new tires yet but i have the Kumho Ecsta AST on 15" rims. Havent had them long so dont know about there treadwear but they handle good wet and dry. Not as good as goodyear geagle F1's on 17" but they are great for the money for sure!!!!
