Thank God for you, Scott. Finally, a noob that can spell AND has good grammar!

I would not run 205/50r15 on the street simply for the fact that you have a supercharger (among other mods). Lots of non-SVT Auto-xers run this size in STS because we opt to change the gearing. I think with all the HP you have, coupled with a smaller overall diameter tire, you will be spinning them too much.

As far a good overall street tire...there's hundreds of choices. I have tried Kumho 712, Nokian, and Yokohama and they all perform fine in all season spirited driving.

A trip to the Auto-X forums is going to give you lots of food for thought.
