I need a new set pretty soon and cant find the 205-55 R15 anywhere that is reccomended... whats a good replacement? preferably still on the 15 inch rim

 

I like my dunlop direzza dz101's

 

Any of the Goodyear shops can get them, they just don't stock them. I just bought an OEM S-rated tire (205/55 R15) from Expert Tire (I think they are a national chain) for $100 each. The V rated jobs are about double the price.

 

I got BFG g-force sports from discountire.com. Supa cheap and still a good tire.

 

running on Toyo proxes t1r for 2 years now and love the grip

 

I'm not sure if you're asking for a replacement size or brand/model suggestions.

If you're looking for alternative sizes while maintaining a 15" rim and same overall diameter, check out www.bigcustomwheels.com/rt_specs.jsp

If you're looking for brands/models of tires, I like Kumhos.

If you're looking for a good place to buy tires, check out www.tirerack.com

 

hey kronn, thats a sweet link, most tire calculators just give you numbers but that gives you a really nice diagram too.

and another site to check out tires is www.tires-easy.com/ a huge selection with very good pricing

 

federal 595 on the 17s
toyo t1r on the 16s which im using for autox....not enough grip for what i need it to do
nitto neogens on 15s stock

other set of 15s had nitto nt01
other set of 16s will have federal 595RSRs soon

 

i love my Kumho Ecsta ASX. ive only got them to squeal once or twice. they are a great all-season tire. ive heard the tread wear isnt as good as they state, but at the price you cant beat them.

 

This is what I use too.
I am on my second set.

I got a friend that works there so I get that "discount" discount.

Great tire.

 

I had BFGoodrich KDW2's on my CP-Fs..

They were amazing. I loved them. Great traction/grip/performance..

To bad they were stolen..

 

i use nitto neogens 205/30/16, superb grip so far. had some kind of toyo's before whn i got the car, i used to slide the hell out of them. i picked my nitto's up for 55 a peice

 

Hankook z212's 205/50/15, great tire, good for summer only though.

 

For me, it's a toss up between Hankook RS2s and Yokohama Parada Spec 2s. I have General Exclaim UHPs on my rex. Good for the price.

 

I ride on rimz, 16" rimz, gets me to the ground way down low. (LiL john .. Yeaaahh. )

 

Just ordered me a set of re-01r from tirerack there on closeout now $77each for 225/50 16. Wanted the direzza star specs but couldn't pass this deal.

 

Yokohama Prada 2

 

direzza z1 sport star spec, absolutely awesome

 

You guys keep posting Brand/Model of various tires as if that's what the OP actually wanted.

 

he hasnt even posted back to answer your question. The thread title says clearly, "What tires do you use?" and thats how we responded.

Here are some tires in that size:

I think he means tire sizes.

 

I've heard a lot of good things about the Direzza Stars but I've been playing with some Toyo R888s here. They are very, very nice. Sure they might wear a little quick but at the track it's a world of difference over the Falken Azenis 615s I was running just prior.

Otherwise go for the cheapest, black, round thing that matches the size you need. The higher the treadwear number the better the mileage...

Goodyear F1 GS-D3's... 205/50R16.
