200 20v summer tires, 215/60/15

[Schaible, David]

I bought 16" wheels from tire rack and now have been running khumos,
which for half the price, have out performed every other tire I've ever
run in both traction and tire wear (maybe those bridgestone potenza'a
had better wet traction).  So I believe the 16's have paid for
themselves not to mention the dramatic handling difference.....which is
priceless

Very good investment....the wheels looked like the avus spoke wheels and
were inexpensive, I think also if you buy tires at the same time you got
them mounted balanced freee or some discount or something....check it
out

Yea, seems there is not a lot of choices in the OEM size. 

I'm not excited about going to the 225/60-15 because of the taller
sidewall.....and I'm not prepared to spend the cash on a set of wheels.
Looks like it's back to the XGTV or try the Yoko ES100. Hmmm.

Thanks for the input guys,

Just did a quick pass through Tire Rack and Discount Tire.  The only
choices for a true Ultra High or Max performance summer tire in the
stock size it the Yoko.  I've heard consistently good remarks about
them, but have no first-hand experience.

Another option would be to go up to 225/60-15 and then there's a BFG
something or other.  The rest are all only High Performance or
Touring, which would not really be much fun on the track.
