I'm shopping for tires now. I have found a few interesting tires in 195/55/15, but was wondering about 205/50/15. I know clearence for 205/50's depend on tire and car, but regardless of clearence what would work better on a stock powered 1.8 with koni's, sway bar slightly lowered etc. I know that fatter tires dont always equate to better performance. Should I consider 195/50/15's to minimize rotational weight on my stock powered car?
Looking for dry weather tire I can use on street and for AX. |

70mph-4th gear-4000rpm
5th gear-3200rpm I know that's about 10 miles off. My odo says 100 mi when it's only been 90. Does that mean my car will go 130? LOL I drove a 914 for years that had no speedo, so I drive by the tach anyway. The westerns were on the car when i got it. I think they add a bit of elegance. Only thing I don't like about them is the lack of choice in the centercap department. The offset is perfect for my size tire(that's t"i"re) |
