I used that size with ContiExtremeContacts, and all I can say is that this combo was awesome! I actually had to re-learn how to steer the car because just touching the wheel sent the car in that direction. There is not one bad thing I can think of with those tires in that size other than longevity (only lasted about 25K miles). I definitely put those tires to the limit and they never let me down.
This is with Aero suspension in the '98.
