I know the OEM tires size is 195-50/15 however I was wondering what tires you guys are using for 15x6 wheels? I need to get some new tires soon but looking for a good street/autoX tire. Car is only driven once per week to local club meets and wanted to take it to the track on occasion as well. The last tires I had were Yokohama A032-R, I don't need them quite as grippy as that, but it sure was fun while I had them. :teehee:
What 15" multi-use street/track tires are you guys using?
Dunlop Star Spec in 205/50/15

They're truly excellent. They approach race tires in terms of sticky. I've got two sets.
Star specs are good. They also last quite a long time for that level of grip.
For that kind of light useage, go r-comps again. Nitto NT01 or Toyo RA1. 205-50-15.
the 205's are cheaper than the 195's? what the heck? more rubber less money, I likey!
I know right, considering this is not my daily driver with limited miles im thinking I might want something in the 180 to 100 treadwear rating area.Quote:

Or even something crazy like these Yokohama ADVAN A048

Im sure the A048's are loud as hell though.
i have Kumho XSs right now... pretty decent IMO
You mean these right? that's a good price and treadwear too!Quote:

Im using Toyo R1Rs. I dont use my car that much, usually weekends only, they are lasting longer than expected and they are great on the track.
just saying 1995 bbs wheels are 15 x 6 not 15 x 7
^205 would still work for them.
I wanna try a really sticky tire for my next set.
Advan A048's look so sexy
Fixed, thank you!Quote:

205's on 15x6.5 wheels below (they're closer to 215).

Starspecs have been very good for me... and wear has been pretty good too!
