I ended up buying (and I love them) Yokohama AVID Envigor 205/65 x 15. There is no rear rub, body is close, not too close. I have some inside rub on tight turns up front. I was going to run 1/4" spacers in the front, but I'm going five lug soon, so I'll wait to see how that all fleshes out. I'm using these tires on my 6 x 15 Fuchs.

Yokohama S-Drive P205-50-15 on Mahle 4 lug wheels perfect fit, lowers the height. Also will cause the Speedometer to read 90 when going 60 which will scare the heck out of the person in the passengers seat if you point it out to them while taking a hair pin turn.

I started this thread a year ago. Some of the tires suggested are no longer available. What do you guys like for good sticky performance tires now? The Goodyear Eagle Sport seems to be common as there's not much available for a 15" wheel anymore.

Even moreso, I have to find good performance tires for a 14" wheel now (185-60 R14). Anybody running a 14" tire on anything?

Running 195/65 on 14" 5 lug fuchs. Tires are kumho . Also put kumho ' I n my Audi TT which is a 17"x7.5" rim. They seem to have a good variety of sizes. They feel same as the Yokohama that I took off and were almost half the price.

Good to know ... I have a set of 14"x7" 5-lug ATS Classics sitting up in the loft (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
