Well it seems all the bad reviews come from people who live where it snows. I'm from So. California, so I guess it would be ok/good in my kind of weather

I found that deal too. I'm thinking bout getting them just cause the price is right.

Don't let the price be your only determining factor. After all the tires are the only thing connecting your car to the road.
You can find better tires for around the same price. And if you didn't already know try searching for a 205/50/16 or 205/45/16....they will fit the stock wheels with very little discrepancy from the speedometer and will give you many more options to choose from.

Good price, bad tires. My father dad set of them on his 3 gt and they sucked. Not very good in any condition and they wore down fairly quick.
RSA's sucks, they wear out way to fast. Look at the UTQG - 260AA, they wear real fast. If your looking for a deal, how bout the Kumho Ecsta ASX's. They are cheaper, and have a better wear rating. They have a higher speed rating (W vs. the V for the RSA's , not that a P5 is gonna do 168mph.....) Speaking from personal experience on my own P5, the Kumho's are a great tire at a great price. They lasted twice as long as the OE RSA's that came on it. I also have a boat load of customers who love the Ecsta ASX's both in performance and in price.

I think the rest of the comments spoke for themselves, but i've had this tire on my 2003 Grand Am GT, and my 2007 Trailblazer SS. Worst tire EVER. No bulls***. It has NO positive areas, it's terrible in rain and snow. I'd rather run bald summer's than these tires.
On discountiredirect 205/50/16 the 912's are $77 shipped, ast's are $78 shipped, and the summer 452's, which are excellent summers, are $85 shipped. When you factor in the shipped pricing, you can't beat those guys. Btw, if you are in socal, you have no business buying all seasons.

Mine came with the Kuhmos. They're not bad at all. Great in rain and snow. Maybe noisy and rough riding, but that could be the car. I've only heard them squeal once, and that was my fault. 205/45/16 is an option, but they're mostly high performance, low life tires. Not for everyone.

Is it ok to use 205/55/R16, since there is many choice out there with this size.

IIRC a few members have run this size before with no issues.

+1 to the Kuhmo's.
Then are sticky enough, saved my ass 2x already, and we're cheap.

Me running 205/55/R16 since I bought the car. No issues as far as I can tell. They make the car a bit slower, theoretically.
I've been running a set of Blizzack 205/55r16 for a few months now, seeing that my old set of summers were shot when I put the snows on last fall and haven't got around to buying a new set of summers. Plus, the blizzacks were free, so I really don't care if I wear them out running them dry. They fit with no issue, but I have not modified the suspension, so I can't say if there would be an issue if the vehicle is lowered or has modified springs.
