anybody running this size 195/65 r15 tire ? I am looking for new rubber and currently have 205/60 r15 on the car but there is more of a choice in this 195/65r15 size to pick from. I think it will fit fine as it is just a tad taller and a tad thinner in width. looking for some comments on that size thanks

Found 25 tires in 205/50 x15 at Tire Rack. Lots of selection. One of the best IMHO is the Continental Extreme Contact Sport. I have these on my 280Z ( 225/50 x 16 ) and I am very impressed. Awesome grip wet or dry. Very quite and comfortable. Decent price as well. Only $96.99 per tire. Which for a Max Performance Summer Tire is very good.  205/50 x 15 is a nice size for a Z as well.

thanks for the help chickenman  but your 205/55 r15 is 1.2 " lower in the ride height . I have  to watch my exhaust clearance with the header and my  early 260z has a 1983 zx tranny in it and the speedo is very close to rite on. the closest other size is a 195/65 r15 which has more of a selection. plus we all know how these old z ride and a little more sidewall in the tire helps also. I have been looking on tire rack and the continental true contact does make 195/65 r15 also a 185/65 r15 both h rated speed . looks like a great tire .
