What are your thoughts and is anybody running these tires on there SE or other brands i did not list ? I know most of you will say to go to a 195 tire for more options but i prefer to keep it OEM ....Any input is much appreciated ..Thanks

I don't have experience with any of those models but the Antares Ingens A1 is the nicest looking.

Search for 195/60 and 185/65. 205/60 is all but obsolete and way too wide on a 5.5" wheel anyways
