I was wondering how many of you have run the 195/50 tire on the 15" rim for
B14s.  Reason being, my last 3 sets have been 205/50.  BUT, I'm planning on
getting S-03s and the 195/50s are $79 from tirerack vs. the 205/50 which are
$117!  That's $38 a tire!  I know the 195's will probably have a bit better
turn in but I haven't really noticed anything negative with the 205s.  And I
need all the traction I can get with the turbo and road course racing so the
extra width would come in handy.  But I'd save basically $160 for the set with
the 195s..... So, just wondering if you guys had any insight.
