      What you want is:

      175/70/14
      185/65/14
      185/70/14
      195/65/14

      195/70 is pretty tall. 185/65 will have plenty of choices.

                currently have about 14XXX miles on my falken ziex ze 512s

                A bit noisy at highway speeds but there appears to be virtually no wear on them.

                  anyone have any experience with these? Thoughts? Looking for 225/45/16. Most of the other tires I've seen have a low noise rating, these two were rated highest.

                    They are damn near identical, performance wise. Go with whatever is cheaper.

                            205/55-15 is not the same thing as 205/55-16...

                              ah i figured

                              the 55 series are much easier to find

                              oh well


                              I think im going to go with a set of Falkens, in the long run

                              i need something that will wear long and give good grip

                              the summer ultras just seem to wear out too quickly for someone who drives 400mi a week.

                                You can run a 55. You have to space out the inside of the front fender well though to keep it from rubbing, otherwise, it runs fine.
