Sorry Patagonian, the tires are Yokohama A048 Med/Hard 195/50/16's and oddly enough are about 10mm wider than the stock 205's. I will post the dyno sheet when I return to L.A.. Mom's house doesn't have a scanner.
HPUDrew,
Yes the mid range "feel" of the car has really improved, so much so that you could actually spread the gears out a bit more. Not much,...but a hair. I think I'm done with the mods though (famous last words). -Sean

thanks. I'm trying to narrow down my tire choice and didn't see those as an option for the sizes I've looked at. Most tires like the A048 have a wider tread width than their street only counterparts. The 215 Azenis I'm considering are wider than most 225's.
