Alf,

They might be ok but per Tire Rack they do not come in my size.

If you're running 16" wheels, I'm terribly fond of the Avon M500. The dry performance is very good - I'd say right up there with the S-03 - and the wet performance is adequate. For the price, they're awesome, and so far they're wearing well on my car.

I recently bought S03s and I´m VERY happy with them! Are they alot more expensive?
I got 205/50, they do look sweet. There is quite a big difference in looks between diffrent tires with the same aspect ratio.
For example the Dunlop 8000 looks way better than Dunlop 2000 (I have a friend with both tires on the same car).

I just went with the new Toyo T1-R's - I'll post back once I get a few miles on them to let you know how they look and work,

I just got some tires from www.treadepot.com free shipping.

I went with Toyo RA1's. I didn't get them shaved so I'll put some wear on them and hopefully get in on some DE this year.

THe SO3's were an attractive choice until you factor price. They are about $50/tire more. My first choice was the Dunlop 8000 but they are no longer made as they have been replaced by the SP-9000 which, unfortunately does not come in 15" sizes.

Thanks, Harry. Those look OK, especially once the car was lowered. Those are 60s? In your post you said you are looking for 55s, so you want to go even smaller? I'm really concerned that 205s in a 55 or a 50 series will just look WAY too small.

Anybody else out there who have 55 or 50s on their 15" wheels?

Paul,

I added my new 205/55-15 tires to the shots above for comparison.
