I'm about to replace my Toyo tires (crappy in my opinion) and I have narrowed my selection down to 3 choices and would like to hear any feedback/advice from you guys (pros & cons, reduced mpg, etc). I have a 3s sedan w/16's and going to go replace w/ 215 55 16. I'm not an aggressive driver but like good cornering & want good traction (for when it does rain here in the desert as well as for windy conditions). 1. Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S 2. Goodyear Eagle GT 3. Yokohama YK520 Thanks in advance!

Replying to: mazdrvr (May 18, 2009 10:45 pm) BTW, the 16" s has 205/55/16 standard...are you sure you want to go up to a 215? It'll throw speedometer calibration off by 1mph or so...just FYI.

Replying to: igozoomzoom (May 19, 2009 1:59 am) Will it affect my mpg? **did you guys just stick with the 205 width? I guess the 1/2" on the 215 might not make the biggest difference; I was thinking of better road grip & I like the look of a wider tire.

Replying to: shipo (May 19, 2009 1:53 pm) I didn't know about the 225/50/16 size... I'm actually looking into tires in that size, thanks!

Replying to: mazdrvr (May 21, 2009 9:18 pm) 1. will there be any issues w/rubbing, etc w/ the 225/50/16? 2. are you satisfied w/ the factory size 205's (handling, etc) or did you go wider? I've been researching different tires, reviews, etc... & my head is spinning from too much info, lol. I want to save some $ but want good performance tires so i'm trying to decide weather its really worth getting the wider tires. (dang, I really wanted those Michelins but they're expensive!)
