in stock 195/55 r15

which tyres are better (grip, handling, not treadwear)? or any other tyres that are better than these three in that size?

i tried running a search, but got nothing relevant.

thanks

 

the best tire would be a set off

 

the dunlop 9000 are also in stock size, i hear they are pretty good.

 

The best tire is the Toyo Proxes T1-S. Not sure what a tyre is though..

 

A "tyre" is the real English word. "tire" is American slang......

 

i think eagle f1 gs d2...is the one i have on my k1 racing...they have good traction in terms of dumping the clutch adn road racing...again it all depends on ur preference...

 

I have the T1-S and love them. The dry grip is very good and the wet grip is
just amazing. The tire is very predictable at the limit which is a good thing on the street. However, the predictability comes at the expense on a sidewall that is IMO a little to soft. Initial turn in is more pricise with the RE010.

The only complain is the tires don't seem to like hot temperature. When it is very hot outside and very humid, they complain like ******. My guess is they will not be very good on a track. I will bring them at the track in a month or so, but until then, I don't know what they would do. If someone has track experience with them I would appreciate to know.

Edit: I would recommand 205-50 instead of 195-55...

I have the Toyo T1-S in 195/55-15 and they are just ok. I ran them in their first auto-x yesterday and they simply do not have the grip, nor the turn-in of the RE010. They are spectacular in wet, though and they should probably last at least twice as long as the Bridgestones. I will most likely not buy another set.

 

You guessed right! I've used T1-S on the track, and after a few laps, the car starts to feel loose. As you can tell by the design of the tire, it doesn't have a large contact patch compared to some other tires out there.

I also feel the sidewall is too soft compared to the RE010's. For wet, the T1-S is simply amazing. It gives you alot more confidence in the rain, especially at highway speeds and beyond. But in the Dry, I like the RE010's. Since I push the car more when it's dry, I prefer the RE010's over the T1-S.

Just my $0.02

 

Thanks all for your help. I'm gonna stick with the re010's.

and tyre is the correct spelling, not tire, in proper english, not american haha
