wheels on my car are 15 by 5.5 wide, any good suggestions for a street tire that could take a track day/AX event.


Sorry for the stupidity of this post, haven't even seen my car yet in person.

I'm getting Hankooks for my 914 as street tires and Autocross rains.
225/50-15 on 8 inch rims. Should fit nicely under the flares.

There is a big tread on sccaforums about this tire, look in the street tire classes forum. From what they've shown, the 225 kook is just barely wider than a Falken 205 (RT-215). I didn't see any comparison to the 615 but i think it is a little narrower than the 215.

Seems like almost all the top STS2 guys are using the Falken. An interesting note is that Andy Hollis is running a 205-40-16 Falken on his GRM miata, which is actually narrower than the 15" verson to get better turn in response and a smaller tire diameter.
