New Tires and Wheels

I have a 1998 900SE turbo that I had already purchased one Viking wheel to replace a bent one and had 2 slightly deflected wheels on the back and 2 good ones on the front, including the new one. I decided to get away from wheel damage and improve the ride of the car(I did the same thing with an Audi 4000S years ago). I went with Tirerack.com Borbet "B" 15 inch wheels and 195/65/15 Kumho Solus KH16 Tires and the ride is incredible. The car has never been so smooth in the ride category. I have had Kumho Solus KH16 on the wifes 2003 9-5 Linear in the 215/55/16 size and like the tires already. The wheels came with new lug nuts and a premounted centering ring in each wheel, mounted and stick on weight balanced for free. I thought pay $250 each for another round of Vikings or $701 "delivered to my door" tire and wheel package ready to bolt on and a better ride. This old accountant could not pass that up. And yes for those performance buffs I did loose some steering response with the taller tires but 75% of my commute is straight roads and I love that smooth ride coupled with present and future cheeper tire cost from now on.
