Tire...Wobble...50 mph

long story, short...I'm getting new tires, Bridgestone Potenza RE950s or Dunlop SP SportA2s, sound decent?...just wondering what size i should get, should i get same size as stock or something a little different, stock is 185/65/15, should i go wit 195/60/15? That is only like 1.046% spedometer differenceand it'll give me a slightly wider track, right?

IF you think i should get the Yoko Avid/H4s, the potenzas have a better grip rating at tirerack.com...so, yeah

well myfriend what you have done is UN balanced your tire which accounts for the wobble, new tires should fix your problem my firestones shook at 70 mph then i got new rims and tyres and now no wobble at any speed

Yeah, those will work....and it'll also improve your braking and acceleration slightly, very very slightly, you probably won't even notice.

I love Bridgestone and Pirelli they make super tyres, I got some Kumhos when I bought me wheels and I love them they handle really well in the rain another good tire by Bridgestone is the Pole Position. I'd go with the Potenzas though, just my .02
