My car came with 205-50/16s...I am moving to LRR tires...specifically Kumho Ecowings. They tend to be a lower weight...narrower tread tire than some of the regular tires in this size.

I like the lower profile tires...on this car they allow some serious cornering for those inevitable emergency situations.

I inflate to 40-42 PSI...so I MIGHT be seeing a +10% gain from stock tires at stock pressures...when I have four LRR tires?
