Autocross and Street Tire recommendations for 1995 M-Edition BBS wheels

[— Phatmiata —]

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.

What 15" multi-use street/track tires are you guys using?

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.

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.

Like these Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08

Or even something crazy like these Yokohama ADVAN A048

Im sure the A048's are loud as hell though.

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

[etikoner]

^205 would still work for them.

I wanna try a really sticky tire for my next set.

Advan A048's look so sexy

I'm waiting for a call back from Discount Tire about a set of star specs. Just have to see if they will price match TireRack at $115 a tire rather than $130 a tire, if they do I'll be ordering some tonight.

I just bought some Federal 595 and they seem to be good value. They're not R888 or A048, but they're quiet and apparently long-lasting.
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!
