I'd like to buy 4 tires in 195/55-15 size. Right now I have 4 rims without tires, and am running on backup steelies. I believe this is stock size on a Tib. Either lightly used or new. Prefer a performance-oriented tire. Ship to 14261. Thanks!

these are 195/50/15 Falken Ziex ZE-512







2 of the tires have small road rash, niether is serious i just want to show you this up front so you know that its there.



as you can see 100 is a good deal for these tires, they have excellent traction and are extremely drivable in the rain, no worries at all.

the difference between 50 to the 55 is very little, you probably wouldn't be able to tell.
is there a reason as to why you need them 55?

The reason for having exactly the 55 profile is that the car is lowered just the way I want it right now. This is on my backup winter steelies with skinny, tall 185/65-14's (they were cheap, and damn good tires) , and the 195/55 is the same diameter as the 185/65. Going to the 50 would drop the car another 4/10 inch. That wouldn't change the look of the car. What it would change is whether the car scrapes pulling into driveways, or hits curbs. It's juuuuust clearing right now. And I've grown to like the wheel wells filled with a slightly oversize tire. After spending lots of money getting the car running better, the details like tires for the rims are finally getting taken care of.
