Yokohama AVS ES100s with either 205/60/15 or 205/50/15 in front and then 215/60/15 in back. I'm thinking about the 205/50s in front for better steering response and steering feel. I don't care about the harsher ride. Rear tires are 25.1" and the fronts are either 24.7" or 23.2". I would go with 205/55s but Yok doesn't make this size for the ES100s. I want to keep the same tires on the front and back of the car but possibly different sizes b/c I "need" a lower profile tire in front. 16" tires are not a possibility b/c I can't afford any 16" rims. That'll be in the future. I could go with 205/60s all around, and then I would be able to rotate them, but the sidwall will be pretty tall and then also the gearing would be a little more off than if I used the 215/60s in back............ I DON'T KNOW??? any more info guys???
Thanks
