Well since the other thread got closed,here is my question again...
What would some of you recommend.I am not looking for a track tire,i want a good street tire. Something with decent treadware,minimal road noise, good wet/dry traction,and if possible, a decent price.

What tire size would anyone recommend.
These tires will be going on 94-95 Gsr rims.
What would be best 205/50 or 195/50?
Need to be a 50 profile because of the drop.How wide do most of you guys go who are running 15"s?

Im riding on Falken Zeix 512's (205/50/15). They handle decently in the rain and have great tread life. I can't really comment about the traction since I dont have much to compare them to, but I know on clubrsx.com they just had a thread about these tires and everyone was praising them left and right. They are also cheap as hell!
