The difference between the Bridgestone and others like Khumos is definitly noticable

205/50/15


You got em all for $350? not a bad price, not a bad price at all. Where did you buy them at?

 

I have 205/50R15 Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's on my car and they are excellent! They stick like a dream, they absorb a lot of vibrations from the road and ride very smooth, and are an overall good tire for the price.

 

Also my friend has Michelin Pilot Sports or something like that and they are rated almost a perfect 10 in everything by many many places but they are expensive, almost $150 a tire.

 

I'm rollin' on 195/50's on my car with Si rims. What should the tire pressure be set to? 30-35lbs?

 

Got em at Tirerack.com, $81 a tire for 195/50/15.

 

35psi should be right. But try experimenting to find one you like. I'm running 35 now but I think I'm gonna try out 38 soon.

 

I thought that they took almost 50psi? Is 35 your recommended? I'll have to double check!

 

50 psi is the max tire pressure, NOT what you should run it at. Look at the sticker inside your door sill. For Si's and GSR's, fronts should be 35 psi and rears should be 33 psi.

 

thanks a lot...!!! Dude, I was running the PSi that high. No wonder it was such a harsh ride.

 

Running 38-40 or higher all the time can wear out the center of the tire tread way too early (I did this on my old car w/ 205/50-16 Nittos).

I have Nankang EX-500 205/50-15 V-rated tires w/ 320 treadwear. After 25K+ miles total, 10K of that being lowered w/ 2.3 deg. neg camber in front, they still look like this:
