195/50/15 is the size you should have used. Toyos are sticky enough for your power. Any pics of the car? Maybe increase the height?

Comparing to the s-drives, these have softer sidewalls (not to good for my likings) and I think they tend to block during braking, earlier. On slippery roads they feel more confident, they are more progressive and they squeak when they are close in loosing traction. I like that as the majority of tyres i had, lost traction without squeaking (the were V instead of H). On roads with great traction i think they are inferior maybe due to their being softer. Overall I think for their price (220e 4 set) they do their job well.saxophonias wrote:A few days ago I purchased some new tyres sized 185/55/14 to replace my old yokohamas s-drive which had 60.000km on. I bought the Nokian H a brand from Finland which seem to go pretty well in various tests.
And here you can see how they are going in various tests

After some time I will write a nice review for them, but i have the impression that they feel good!
