I have 205/15/50 yokohama avs es100's on rotaslipstreams also. They work ok, pretty grippy. I'd rather have the azenis though, I'm putting those on the spoons that im getting next month.

If you wanna go around corners and grip really well, I suggest 205 in the front and 195 in the back

Are the azenis unidirectional? Cuz if they aren't then when you have to rotate ur tires you will have the 195 up front.

Rota wheels don't come in 15x7. It's either 15x6.5 or 16x7.

and yeah, 205/50/15 would work nicely on a 15x6.5 slipstream.


EDIT: well I guess there is a guy on here claiming that rota just came out with a 15x7 wheel and it's a new thing that only he has, so maybe I'm wrong.

What about Toyo T1s's? Anyone have those on their car? Any positive/negative feedback?

cool, I finally found a place selling the 15x7 slips: http://www.machiii.net

I think you should do at least 205/50/15 for that wheel. I wonder if you could fit a 215/50/15 on there without rubbing? Anyone tried this yet?

I would break-in / wear-in my tires before I do any hard cornering. Plus you would want more grip in the front that's why I said 205 in the front and 195 in the back. I'm running 205 front and back right now and I do a lot of hard cornering. The tires in the back only wear in a part of the tread, the middle wears in but the ends of the tires don't. I'll take a picture if you want showing the wearing of the tread. The back wheels don't serve as much of a purpose when going around corners, they mainly need to follow the front. So a less of a contact patch in the rear ensures that it'll follow the front more efficiently.

I had yokohama's 205/50/15's they were pretty good, but quite costly.....I currently have bridgestone potenza SO3's 195/50/15's which are good, and was around $500 for all four tires :-/
