just wanted to get your opinions on good Street tires for stock R wheels.

I'm considering getting 205/50-15s

 

Toyo T1s or S03

 

 

Pirelli P700Z's. Only come in 195/50/15 and 205/50/15. STICKEY! Great in the rain and even pretty good in the snow. http://www.tirerack.com. They are under $60 a piece.
Later.

 

Yokohama AVS ES100 $70 a peice at tirerack

 

You want choices?

Kumho MX, 712's, AVS ES100, P-zero, g-Force KD, Azenis, S-03, P700, T1S, etc.

 

you DO NOT want those tires

S-03 you DO

but for 46 dollars each for P700 , you shouldnt even think about anything else

VERY good GRIP, not much life

 

For Street tire on stock wheels:

Bridgestone RE010 195-55-15 can't be matched. Any other 195-55-15 won't be as good. If going with 205-50-15 - i wouldn't recommend that size for 15x6 rim.

 

 

Falken Azenis or BFG G Force KD if you want ultimate in grip.

 

On the stock 15x6 rim would you guys use 195/50/15 or 205/50/15? The tire would be S-03's I hear some say the 205 feels too sloppy.

 

S-03

 

I have 205-50-15 S-03's on 15x6.5 right now and its still feels kinda sloppy. It has stronger sidewall than RE010, it also seems wider than other 205 tires, therefore I would recommend at least 15x7 rim for S03's. They don't wear out as fast as RE010, have great wet traction. I wouldn't even try these on stock wheels, these who tried happy with it, fine with me. I tried toyo v rated 205-50-15 - the worst tire yet, soft sidewall feels very sloppy. They do have decent road grip in straight acceleration.

btw.. S-03's in 195-50-15 do not match "max load" per tire. - it might not be safe

Excluding racing tires, you will have better handling when tire size/wheel size matched well, Honda did great job with RE010 with 15x6 - If there is a better tire for that wheel, it would have to be same size as RE010.

 

i'd say go with the toyo T1's they are exclent on wet roads as well as on the road course almost like u put super glue on them

 

Ayup!

A.

 

I have 205/50-15 Bridgestone S03s on 15x7 wheels. They are very nice.

So 205's suck on stock wheels, but are good on 15x7.
How much extra weight are we talking for the wider rims and wider tires?

 

Yeah ok.

Potenza SO-3's in 195/50. Better all around than RE010's and $86 at tirerack.

 

"btw.. S-03's in 195-50-15 do not match "max load" per tire. - it might not be safe"

 

I live dangerously.

 

I made some phone calls today And found someone selling Toyo T1s they have less then 1000Km on them and he wants 200 canadian $ (about 120 $ ) for all 4. The thing is they are 205/50-15...witch are recommended for 6.5'' wheels. But as some of you mentioned it is better to keep 195/55-15 on stock wheels. My question is will performances suffer alot? Could it be dangerous or something?

I would really like to buy those tires since i'm on a tight budget at the moment...I'd at least keep'em till the end of summer.

Do you guys think I should do it?

 

well that seems like a good deal i got my T1s 195-55-15 last week for 759 CAD with balance and mounting and tax.. so i guess it's about 506 US for all 4

 

The difference is small. The ITR is a race car, not a van.....
The S-03 195/50R15 is perfect for stock rims, if you don't mind the speedo inaccuracy.....

 

Dunlop SP Sport 8000's, been runing them on the street for a couple of months now and i am really impressed with them on a dry road, haven't had the chance to test them out in the rain yet.
