I have 195/50ZR15 SP8000's on 15X7 inch wheels.  They work great!
Highly recommended.  FWIW, when I called Tire Rack about both of those tires,
they said the Dunlops were the better tire.

I got about 20,000 miles on my last set, which is a new record for me.
Unless something better comes along, I don't think I'll switch.

I'm upgrading to a set of 15" wheels ( Borbet type C ) and have narrowed 
my search for tires to either Dunlop SP8000 or BFG Comp TA's ZR's.
Has anyone
on the list had a favorable or negative experience with either type?
I plan to use 
205/50-15 on both front & rear, will this size cause any clearance problems?
