Because my car is not low. 23" tires look dumb and lost in the wheelwell like skateboard wheels or an old school lowrider. Also 8% speedo error. 205/60 is the OEM size.

Back in the early 2000s I ran Yokohama AVS Intermediate in OEM size, then AVS S.Drives. And again Yoko even does make modern equivalents... But only outside the US. So I have 205/55R16 Advans for now as the compromise.

Closest I can find to a performance tirein the US is an Ohtsu which is basically the old Falken Ziex ZE512 from 20 years ago... Haha. It might do!
