I believe that the stock wheels are 15"x6.5", is that correct? With a 6.5"
wheel width, I feel that it's a wash between 205/50 and 195/50. The 205's are
wider, but will have more squish in the sidewall, because it's a taller
sidewall and because the 195's will be stretched out more on the 6.5" wheel.

If Tire Rack is still running their specials on the Bridgestone S-03 ($63 or
so?), go for it. You won't find a better value, nor will you find a better
street tire.

I want to get 195/50/15 tires for my 200sx se-r with stock wheels. Does
anyone
have an opinion on whether or not this makes the gearing too short? I don't
drive highways. Thanks.
