What tires and size are you running now? I don't know anything about size compatibility, but as far as tires go I think that it would be a great upgrade. I put 215-60-15(?) V rated Comp T/A tires on my mom's Camry and she loves the added grip and security.

Put them on and be done with it. The Khumo's are a great tire to upgrade to, especially on a car like yours that's still stock or even one with some suspention upgrades. You will notice more grip but the Khumo's sidewalls are still soft enough that you probably won't notice much change in ride stiffness or harshness like you would with even higher performance tires.

My Advice...put them on and tell us what you think.
