go with 205-50-15, 195-55-15, or 195-50-15.

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Positions.

Best tires ever.

Yes..go with the 205/50/15. How much are you wanting to spend on tires, and how hard to you drive?(It does make a difference).

thats a good, high budget per tire. get the s-03's. most people stay away from them because they cant afford them, but you can! so :thumbup:

as long as you dont do crazy burnouts and e-brake pulls, the s-03's will last you more than 30k. unlike many other tires, the s-03's get stickier as they wear down. read all the reviews on them on www.tirerack.com

205/50-15 is the size to go with like everybody said.

However I'd be a little wary of the S-03s if you're looking to get 30k miles out of em. What Spec R is talking about is the tires' ability to maintain more of their wet traction as they wear. They do not actually get stickier as they wear down, and their treadwear rating is low enough that they will not last as long as you want. They're still an awesome tire though.

If you want something that lasts for 30k miles I would suggest the Bridgestone RE750 or Yokohama AVS ES100 in 205/50-15. They're not the absolute stickiest tires out there but they are both very good tires and will last longer than the upper eschelon (in terms of traction) tires.
