Quick run through of story Ordered tyres and rims I wanted correct size bore so needed to be machined should have received within 14days 6 weeks later still no rims.
Choose the Toyo R1R's 195/50/R15 company finally received the rims today but My reserved tyres are no longer in stock the guy dealing with my sale thinks his fitters has put my R1R's on a T1R's order, so some lucky bas**rds got my tyres for half the cost.

Apprantly toyo are no longer manafacturing Motorsport tyre's until the new year as their factory in Japan is non-operational!

So question is what tyres for a budget of around £250 Would you choose?

What is the best size tyre for 7Jx15 rim ?

Thinking...

Federal 595RSR 205/50 £300
Michelin Pe2's 195/50 £224
Or maybe toyo T1R 205/55/R15 £232

I have used the search button no need for comments .

Opinions Please guys calling tomorrow ?

Yoko AD08, £75 a corner afaik.

failing that PE2's

195 50 or 55 will be fine.

Would love the 888's If I could swing it that way.

Really would like something grippy with summer coming taking off eagle f1's how do they compare to the pe2's ?

A 7" rim will hold a 195 quite nicely, a wider tyre like a 205 or 215 will tend to move about same as a 195 on a 6" rim.

its basically tyre stretching but not to extremes, you get less give in the sidewalls, just not as extreme as some fashion victims

Well I dont want to become the latest fashion victim so 195 it is 55's will fill the arches in a bit better than the eagle's on 50's
And damn the price difference between the pe2's 50-55's £56 to £101 thats for very little extra rubber.
Im going to try my luck with you fuk'd me about for 6 weeks so sort me out some 888's first then see where it goes from there. .

They were grippy as hell in the snow, strange for a symmetrical pattern tyre. My only problem was ground clearance but when the car hadn't grounded out on deep snow it would pull no problem. I'm fitting them to my C5 wheels and selling the cyclones, will use the C5 wheels for winter and speedlines for summer

When I purchased the car, I had a set of part worn Potenza RE720 on the 50 profile which were Great! Then I went with the Eagle F1's on the 50 profile which were great too, sticks to the road well in hard cornering, but the compound was too soft.

Then I invested in a brand new set of 55 profile PE2's and have to say they are the dogs hairy b's... It's great on wet and dry.
