    I have an opportunity to get BFG comp T/A's cheap. Only they don't come in the 195/55R15 size.

    Should I get 195/60 or 205/60 ( I fear the 50's will be too stiff)

    What ill effects am I going to see? Speedo fluctuation.Softer sidewall.

    Comments?

    205/50/15's are just fine. The sidewalls aren't that much smaller, but the tire is a bit wider. This size is very popular, and really prefered.

    205/60's would definately be too tall, screwing up your cornering. You would be much better off with 205/50's, which are only 1.6% shorter than stock.
