So I was going to get 17" Rota Titans. Was planning on ordering them this week. However, I found a great deal and someone traded me some TD 1.2s in 15x7 for my wheels and $150. The tires are only 185's so they look a bit weird right now. I figured I'd just order new tires and sell or save the ones on the wheels for winter. Here's a quick picture. I also bought a set of the Fiesta ST all weather mats from the same person for $50.

What size tires should I get 205/50/15? Anything that's a decent all season Nitto Neogen? Last tires I used were RE71Rs on my Miata's 17x9 RPF1s.
Are those 185s (60s??) actual winter/snow tires (hard to tell from that imgur pic)?
Since the only reason most would ever use that size over something wider, and lower profile is for winter use (or wanting the
absolute 'cushiest' ride out of an all season tire).
The Neo Gens are one of THE highest performance all seasons out there,
especially for their price, but I would hesitate to use them in even a 1/4" of snow, which you
could get in your locale.
I am considering them to replace the Pilot Sport AS/3s on my factory wheels (which are almost twice the price of the Neo Gens) when they are gone, as a sort of 'intermediate' use tire for the late fall when it is cold, but NO SNOW/ICE (same for early spring).
I have a dedicated set of REAL winter/snow (as well as for
working on rallies) wheels and tires (Method MR 501 VT Spec in 15x7 with 195/60-15 General Arctic 12 tires), as well as a PURE warm temp summer ONLY setup (TD Pro race 1.2s 17x8 with 215/40-17 Federal RS-RRs on them).
