    185 55 55 recommendations

    What are in people's opinions are the best 185's to buy at the moment? I have 2 sets of wheels. One set is wearing 195's for road use and the 185's would be for show. I can't seem to find michelins in 185's though?

    I enjoyed Proxes on a 185 55 figment. The price:performance ratio was decent, however it was at the expense of road noise.

    The car is running standard. What about the conti premium contacts? I've ran proxies before but I'm not keen on the tread pattern I'd prefer a straight pattern.
