I've got mis matched street tires. all on Mahles. Yoko EVS100 fronts 195/50-15 Bad ass tire. super quick turn in. they came on the stripper so what the hell.
Rears are 195/60-15 Goodyear gt+4 Suck plain and simple! 400 tread wear and wimpy side wall. But they are in good shape so I will use them. I can still out drive most things on the street but my limit is much lower than with say my Autocross tires. 205/50-15 Kumho V700 R spec on Fuchs. Probably could get traction on the ceiling with these. I have had 195/60-15 Dunlop D60 front and 205/60-15 rear on EMPI's Very cushy ride but suck for anything else. Heavy / hard couldn't keep them balanced wouldn't stick to fly paper. |
