I got some new ones the other day and have some interesting info that might sway your decision....
My old tyres were Falken ZIEX things (205/55/15") and going around corners they were unreal, couldn't slide out. I couldn't hold myself in the seat hard enough so for the 2 years I had them on the car I never slid out on corners even though I drove really quick around them. But when it came to taking off, wet or dry they spun like crazy. I thought it was due to the live axle.
My new tyres are Bridgestone Turnanzas (225/60/15") and I can not spin the wheels in the dry, hasn't rained yet so unsure about the wet. I'm not talking full bore take offs but really quick ones. They grip surpurbly off the line but they are nothing like the Falkens around corners. Even when all 4 Falkens had wire showing they still held the road better.
I'm not sure of the reason but here is my opinion...the Falkens were directional with only a few lines and mainly slick and the new ones are very blocky.
Would that be the reason?
P.S. Is $119 good for 225/60/15" Turnanzas? I believe it's a good price. They look nice and fat on my car too.
