or, 215/60r15s

gotta be sticky, but not burn the tread off them like nobodies business...

I'm goin to try and get hookups for spakrle at lunch, I guess it doesnt hurt to see what you can do them for

ok here we go

these are Bimmersport Prices BTW.

dont make a 225/55R15 unfortunately but

215/60R15 FM901 $165, a seriously badass tyre, dont make these in many sizes anymore, most are now the Direzza DZ101, but I love the 901's

225/50R15 W10 $170, once again an older tyre as they only seem to come out on the 94+ MR2's as a rear, but still a high performance tyre, never owned a set personally but Tommy runs them on his pimp luxorbeige, albeit in a smaller size.

205/50R15 Direzza DZ101, $170 new version very cool, run them on my car at the moment in a 225/45R17 you have to make it go sideways it wont happen by accident. ask ///Carl for a review, put a set on his car recently. I like them.

195/45R15 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, $180 I'm just chucking this one in here cos its a bit of an unusual size that would probably be the lowest profile 15 you are likely to see. Have owned these tyres, seriously kick bottom in the wet.

if you need any other prices just ask, I'll try to answer promptlyish :pimp:

175 fitted and balanced each i think

and for the e30 you really need 205/55R15. 215/50R15 would be great, but i dont think many tyres are made in that size...i know i couldnt find any

Might get flamed here but i actually prefer the new yoko C-drives over the 901's. The 901 is still very good but the yokos just seem stickier and nicer to drive on. I have Cdrive on the front and 901 on the back, i recently had the 901 on the front and turn in just isn't as good compared to the Cdrives. Another tire i have used is toyo TPT, sure its not the same league as the above tyres but is still a very good combination of cost, grip and wear. Can't give an idea on any prices sorry as i get mine cheaper.

they only make the 901s in a few sizes now.

they have the DZ101's and the new sportmaxx for the dunlop performance tyres

I haven't tried the sportmaxx yet but they are supposed to be pretty bloody good

and I wouldnt flame you petone, all brands have at least one good tyre

well maybe not all brands, but I'd be dumb not to take note of what else is out there. I always liked the old Yoko A008's they were an awesome tyre

Very interesting as I prefer the old Yoko A539's over the new Yoko C Drives. However the C Drives are still very good tyres, and I am happy with them. I just had more rear end grip (especially in the wet) with the 539's over my C Dives.

I have never had the 901's, socan't comment on that.

Whats the hardest compound, ie longest lasting '205' tyre?

I wasted some cool looking falkens quick as. Now im not sure if ill get a warrent with my harder, (and more grippy surprisingly) Nankings.

I dont really car about grip, just life. Maybe i need to get some patches, or gum perhaps? The new law hasn't help me cut down at all!

If you're trying to be a cheap bastard then go buy some barums, I got 40k kms off them and they were only $130 a tyre

But then don't expect much grip or a quiet ride, at all

patches and gum dont do sh*t......there isnt much that helps to be honest

just make sure engine mounts are good and engine doesnt come off...thats never cool cutting radiator hoses and more

How much lower will those Eibach springs be on a compact? My car almost scrapes my driveway as it is, but I'd like to go lower lol

Curious as to how much a reasonably priced set of 16" low profile directional tyres for the E30.

Cheers

Andy
