what tire for my v8? Options

[pffft]

I am at the point of needing to order tires for the car now.
Stock fenders and 6.5x15 minilites. I HOPE 205 50s will fit.
Toy car, may eventually see an auto x, but its real reason is
for playing in the canyons outside my door. I like good turn in
but forgiveness is probably as or more important, especially with
the big lump of iron behind the seats and enough ride height to
get up my driveway from hell. Stock front swaybar, konis in front
and bilstiens in back with 200lb springs. Dry weather car but I
don't want to die when I hit an unexpected puddle.
And I'm cheap.

Any thoughts welcome...

i agree with andy, for a V8...you should widen the fenders and throw a meatier tire on there..but if you want to stick with stock fenders, a 205 will fit perfectly on a 6.5 inch..just have to make sure it wont rub..

i use the kumho Ecsta MX on my 924S, 205/50/15 all around, great grip and decent wear, not expensive either..the falkens are a bit gripper, but will wear faster, along with the hankook Z212, but with a V8, and a 205 tire, i wouldnt even want to run a compound too hard, you could even run an R compound if you wanted the extra grip, i think the Hankook Z211 in 205/50/15 is still around, for cheap too
