I use the Falken 615, 195/60/14, on the 318 and the 912 on the road cars , Both are very good. IMHO. WE race the Chump car on the 615, fast, stay pretty well ,great stick. The Dunlop are faster, but dont come in a 14.
14s, are of course faster,

OK, for my E30 318is, I ended up going with Yokohama S-Drive's in 205/55/15 on 15 x 7 Euroweaves. Car will ultimately be supercharged, should be OK.

For my recently acquired E30 325is that will be turbocharged, I am using Beyern 17 x 7 mesh wheels and the tires will be Dunlop Direzza Star Spec's, 215/40/17.

We'll see how things go.

Guess I'm a little late to the party, but I'm on my 2nd set of Toyo T1Rs on my MINI. 225/50/15. I LOVE them. Nice and sticky, wear well, and quiet. They are more pricey than Yoko ES100s (which are still available in some sizes), but I think they're a much better tire.

My 318is came with ES100s with about a season's life left in them. I want to go to a 15x7 wheel and put T1Rs on this car, as well. I wish the wheels were interchangeable between the MINI and BMW; that'd save me some expense...

They are close to interchanging. Some minor back space issues .

It's about a 20mm offset difference, for these wheels, at least. I don't want to run any kind of spacer, let alone one that thick!
