Question Tire question?????

Does anyone here have experience with Sumitomo HTR 200 tires on their car? I am looking at the 225/50-15 size for my 85.5 na (on the phone dials).

Please provide your comments and also if this is a good size. The car currently has 225/60-15s. I don't like the look and want to know if the 50 series tires will work alright.

Tire Rack sells the Sumitomos for $58 each. If anyone else has had good experience with them - I can't see spending more money for something else.

I just put 225/50/15 yokohama avs intermediates on my 85.5 na!(tire rack $77 each)I like the the looks and they grip very well.Im still deciding if I feel more roll(sloppy feel)Ive bumped up tire pressure to 42 and 40 rear this has helped.But I liked my michelin 215/60/15 Pilots . <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> I thought they were great! Went with yokos on many reccomendations.Like I said still up in the air.
They fit no problems or mods needed! Speedo if off 3% and car is 1 inch lower,almost,and they are lighter!
