There were 3x as many tire options with this size compared with OEM and no back-orders which was not the case for OEM size. I can definitely see why everyone picks this VDC-friendly size for the Rays.

Falken FK452 was my flavor of choice - also a popular option on driver, so I'm a complete lemming following everyones' lead here. $800 after tax at a small town installer that's known for good prices.

Inside of front original RE050's had pretty good feathering. Gotta pay to play.

I'll eventually confirm speedo difference with a portable GPS. From the size calculators, I should be driving 79 on the speedo if I want to be doing 80. I'm sticking with 35psi which appears to sit pretty normal with these tires. Feel free to comment on your experience with this setup.

Don't want to comment on handling since they only have 20 miles on them. They feel fine so far. Mediocre pictures below to give a feel for sidewall appearance on Rays.
