    Actually that size is just now coming around. For 10 years it was only avaliable as a Toyo T1 and now there are 5-7 different ones around.

    Why does it seem I can never find them then? It seemed like there was the Toyo, Kumho, and maybe BFG then last two disappeared.

    Wow--this whole time I thought it wore 17's. Unless I'm confusing it with the Abarth SS.

    The hellaflush Honda crowd uses the 195-45-15 quite a bit, fwiw.

    Not sure which one this is from, size is on the lower left of the sidewall http://seriouswheels.com/2012/def/2012-Fiat-500-Abarth-Wheel-1280x960.htm

    Just realized I completely misread the size. It's 195/45/16.

    Looked into the 195/45/15's too, the T1R really is the only decent rubber, the rest is cheap Chinese junk, good for mad tight streching yo, though.
