of tires and sizes

[Dave Aukerman]

Now that I have them mounted I can toss my pennies worth into the fray.

After a mixed period with my Kumho 712's (205/55/15) of which saw an
alignment problem cup all four tires and thereafter cause a hateful amount
of mile on the 'paddles', I mounted a set of Sumitomo HTR200's on my 200tqw.
The Fuchs love the 225/50/15's and there are no clearance issues as of yet.
Keep in mind this is with the H&R springs and the standard 45 offset.

The fronts have plenty of room all around.  The rears have room for two
credit cards.  Had plenty of weight in the back during the afternoon and no
rubbing.  Alignment is fairly standard all around, no excessive neg. camber
at any one corner.

Tires are still to 'green' to tell their max.  A bit more give than the
Kumho's but that is to be expected.  Mucho better ride and pretty quiet to
boot.  Not bad for a $58 tire (per Tire Rack)
