Looks like my 205/55 16's are about 27more, but in the 195/55 14 they are only 6 bucks diff....... Yes, actually drove the D40M2 and about 3 mos later a set of SP8000 in a 205/60 15 on a late cq and found the sp8k's to be much stiffer ride...... For the 6 bucks at tire rack (or none in your case) difference, I might enjoy the dry traction advantage of th e 8k's Scott
