Author Topic: Tire choices? (Read 4108 times)

Anyone have experience with any of these three tires: ?

Toyo T1-R
Hankook Ventus HRII H405
Falken ZE-912

I will be mounting tires on 15 x 7 Euroweaves and the tire size will probably be 225/505/15. They are going on a supercharged (DASC) E30 318is, which is why I'm opting for the extra width. Strictly a summer tire.

Any other suggestions, that are available in that size?

I had Toyo T1-R's and loved them but they had a bit of sidewall flex, I am now running Yokohama S-Drives and they compare pretty well with the T1-R's grip and have a bit less sidewall flex.

Yeah, those would be wonderful, but they're not available in 225/50/15. I might have to consider 205/55/15's as that presents many more choices.

i was running a staggered 205/55r15 front and 225/50r15 rear with the Toyos and I actually like the 205/55r15 all around better but if you have 8-9 inch wide rims you may like the 225/50r15 better

Were your rims the same size all around when you ran the staggered setup? As stated above, mine will be Euroweaves 15 x 7 on all 4.
