Getting tires for my '06 Cooper, to be mounted on 15X7 BBS. Current, worn out tires are 195/60/15 Toyos. Like the size but am going to go with either:

205/55/15 General UHP, or;
195/60/15 Michelin Exalto A/S
Most of my driving, unfortunately, is fwy commute, but I do love to get the mini out on a country road occasionally. So. Calif., so snow isn't an issue. I know that the Michelins also come in 205/55/15, but the price is way up at that size. Generals are a little lighter, but I"m not sure that matters since my rims only way 10.6 lbs. Generals are less $$$$, but at these sizes, they're all pretty inexpensive, & Discount tire has a $70 rebate on michelins now.

Suggestions?

 

If you are in Cali why are you looking all seasons?

 

Because HP all season tires tend to be quieter and with better ride quality than dedicated HP summer tires, and most who think they need the incremental difference are kidding themselves unless they track their cars. Also, there are very, very few if any summer UHP tires in 195/60/15, and not that many in 205/55/15

 

Look into Nokian Vs. You can get them in 195/60/15.
