Suspension is stock for '98 model year.
I had 205/55-16 before, and quite honestly, I do not notice a physical difference. Handling is more responsive, though basically the same (oxymoron?). What I mean by this is that the car still hugs the road tightly, as well as slips through the curves smoothly, but now all I have to do is touch the steering wheel and the car goes in that direction.
I had Dunlop SP5000 Asymmetrical, and now have Continental ContiExtreme. The ride is slighly more harsh, but this might be due to the extra air pressure in the tires that is necessary to avoid body lean. The Conti's seem to need this extra air (as in 40 psi front, 38 psi rear).
This is with poly rear sway bar bushes, poly front control-arm bushes, and poly end-link bushes (front sway bar bushes are new rubber).
Also, car seems to lean much less in turns now. Could be the size, could be the air pressure...
No clearance issues at all.
Joe
