Yes I use 205/50/15 Toyo T1R's and they are very good both wet and dry................ but you may want to play with tyre pressures as the side walls are particularly stiff (to cope with fat moderns) and ride quality can suffer a tad at 24 psi. (I now use 22psi)

I should also add that I might be feeling the harshness a little more because I don't have Air con or PAS so mine is a bit lighter than most Excels at the front in particular.
