    There are numerous threads on topic, but as of this writing the choices in 185/70R15 have narrowed down to the Avon CR6ZZ, the Dunlop Sport Classic, the Vredestein Sprint Classic, the Pirelli CN36, the Pirelli P6000, and the Michelin XWX. I may be missing some but these are the ones most posters have gravitated toward, for good reasons. Each have their adherents; I'd recommend searching these forums to learn more about the pros and cons of each.

    Michelin XWX , 185/70R15 is the tire your car came with from the factory . Reproduction copies are all that is available today . Not all that great , I have them on my car and know from experience . The CN36's are great but a little pricey . I think the Vredesteins are the best compromise between price and performance . Not as good as the CN36's , but how fast are you driving ?
