i have the 205 60 14s on my fb5 and i like em. havent gotten to really test the handling out yet bc my ps pressure hose has a hole and is messing with my steering. i am still able to throw the car around though, and did a 180 yesterday, pretty much on purpose, after driving through some water. im replacing that hose today so ill let you know how they are after that, theyre def better than the ones that were on it when i got it, but those were bald walmart tires so that may not be saying much

 

i got some ziex but dunno which ones. me likes.

 

1revvin7 had the 512's and they are super scary on the turns. the sidewalls are like jello. they are more of a drag radial than anything else. if you want to go around turns at a decent speed and have control of your car don't get them.

 

I agree exactly with BigT on this one. I had the same tire in 225/55/R16 on my TII. They are awesome for draggin fo how cheap they were and how well they hooked up, but they are scary on the turns and even worse on teh freeway. I wouldnt get them again.

 

so what would yall recommend for turning at highway speeds?

 

Something with a 40 series side wall or shorter; BFG KDW, Nitto's, even those ziex's aren't bad in a 40 series tire.

 

Yokohama ES100's are a good bang for your buck
