The struggle is real... and I need to figure out what I am going to buy in the next couple of weeks. My car came 205/60s when I bought it back in '94, and I have continued with that sizing. Ed mentioned liking the Goodyear 195/65 for non-show use. I'd like a good performance option at a reasonable price in 195 or 205 sizes. Period correct is not important at this point.

No problem, Nick. But people 've been asking that same 'fair question' --- for 12 years, now (at least) . . . + 300-some times (ditto)
And how many times has it been answered? --- ie. how many posts? . . .
. . . I mean --- this site has a 'search function' . . .
And you're right --- who knows? --- maybe there's a recent (like, in the last year?) thread on the same topic? . . .

Sure-sure
'At's one thread down . . .
. . . only 306 more to go
Copy that
........
I even posted in one of those threads... guilty too. Maybe we should make a sticky thread on tires.

No-no-no --- don't get me wrong, Neil . . . nothing wrong with posting . . .
. . . only just maybe check for/read/THEN post on a more-recent thread first?
'Cause no one's gonna read all those 307 threads . . .
. . . well --- maybe I will/have . . .
. . . but I'm a idiot

^ Yes, yes, good to do a search, etc.
However, not sure I agree that there's a need to beat on the OP here or make them feel stupid/unwelcome for not searching? Especially if it leads to, you know, forum activity. Particularly from someone with recent info to add who may or may not click on an old thread they recognize.
As for a sticky...please be sparing with those. So many forums out there have so many stickies that you have to scroll a fair way down to get to the latest stuff...
Uh-uh-uh --- no 'beating' (or Becking) intended . . . and hopefully not experienced. Totally understand the subject . . . as I'm sure that this topic will ALWAYS be one that many are interested in
But OP's been here 6 years, too, so . . . would 'search' be something all-that new?
So --- instead of a sticky . . . how 'bout? . . .
. . . Tires 2018? . . .
. . . or Tires 2017? . . .
. . . or 2016?
. . . or 2015? . . .
. . . or? . . .
Word of caution.
I ordered a set of Goodyear Eagle Sports to he installed by local tire chain, Discount Tire. I went to get them installed this morning when I asked about tire dates. One tire was 2017, 1 from 2016, and two from 2015. I refused to have those installed and asked that the tires at least be from 2017 forward. I also asked what their policy was on working on old tires, and they said they don’t work on tires older than 10 years old. I am certain that I won’t wear those tires out, but rather, they will age out, so no way am I accepting a tire that has already reached 30% of their limits.
