Falken Ziex SZE-512's (195/60/15)

Found them on tires.com for $45 a piece, with the shipping and warranty and install at one of the local places comes to basically $300. I almost bought these tires last time for my wheels on the Saturn but went with Toyo. I have heard good things about them but I wanted some opinions on here.

1) For this price are they a good tire?

2) Will 195-60-15 fit fine, I know some cars are different since stock is 185-65?

1) yes, one of the best bang for buck tires on the market.

2) 195/60/15 will fit fine. highly recommend checking out the tire calculator on this site. 195/60/15 is the next upgrade over 185/65/15. it doesnt affect the speedo as much.

I used the tire calculator on the Miata site and they seem the same. For the money they are good for now I guess. I mean no rims yet but these will be fine for now cause I would like to have a little performance.

I did mispell it my fault, no "S'.

And I tried to search but all the posts had way to many replies to sift through at the office.

205-60-15 fits fine on my g/f's 03 EX coupe.

Check http://www.vulcantire.com for a possible cheaper price.

205 would fit also, but the tire would kind of buldge out past the rim (I'm assuming 15 X 6.5).
