Default Switching tires

Put the stock Potenza92s back on and they are pissing me off and are way too thin at 205/50/16. I can feel every single bump. 205/55/16 Pirelli P7000 feel just as rickedy but I save them for the track.

Anyways, i'm not sure if I should put the stock 205/65/15s back on and save for a new car (tsx, 330i, 9-3 or 9-2) or buy 205/60/16s Michelin all-seasons.

I am really lost because first you said 205/50/16 are the stock tires then 206/65/15 are the stock tires?

55 series too rough? That's luxury riding man. Try some 40 series.

Tires=hundreds of dollars,
The cars you listed...thousands more on top of your trade-in. I don't think buying new tires should be a factor in deciding if you buy a new car or not.

I like all those cars you listed though. If you have the money...get the 330i.

330i is $13,000+ more than a TSX similiarily equipped, but the 9-3 is close to the TSX. The 9-2 hasn't even been confirmed to be being built yet. If it will be built, it will be small and not as luxurious as the TSX or 9-3.

A friend of mine used to have 18's with 35 series tires and the ride was actually pretty decent.

...but I like my 45 series!
