I've got 195/50r15 Adrenalins on 6.5 rims. Perfect fit, wouldn't want to go larger.

I got quoted for $210 for 205/45/16

Expensive considering T1R is around $170

Hrmz $210 for RE001 in our size seems reasonable;

Compared to $235 for crapyear.

Not looking foward to winter and wet roads...
every ounce counts
