For those of you with a stock 4 bolt / 15" wheels setup, what size and brand of rubber are you running for DE's and AX? Looking at the TireRack site, there doesn't seem to be many options.
I did a quick search on this without much luck, so I thought I would open it up for discussion. |

You're right, the few options are not very good ones. A 205 section tire is pretty much the smallest size in performance tires. This is iffy for a 5.5 inch wide rim....marginal for a 6 inch rim and they are happy on a 7 inch wide jobbie. R spec tires (the weapons of choice for AX are 710s & A6s) are considerabily wider that a street tire given the same listed cross section....they cheat. That said, guys run em' on 5.5s.

i have seen quite a few guys running the falken azenis 205 on 5.5" rims.
they are a decent AX/DE tire but they are no race tire either ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy http://www.falkentire.com/rt615_sizes.html |

If your looking for dedicated tire its hard to beat Kuhmo 710's or Hoosier R6 in 205/50/15 size. Avon makes a slick too and its on sale at Tire Rack for $119! If you want somthing that can be driven to event try Nitto NT01.

A great all purpose ultra high performance street/track tire is the Bridgestone Potenza RE 01R...it comes in 195/50R15...perfect for a 914....
I don't think you'll be runnin for FTD at an a/x with these...but you can drive'em anywhere in rain or dry and go lapping all day.... |
