Gman 29 Posted December 10, 2012 Standard fitment is 185 width, so 205 is likely too wide for the speedlines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybernck 400 1 Cars Posted December 10, 2012 Just get 195/50/15 or 185/55/15 if you have some extra money burning a hole in your pocket . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,627 Posted December 10, 2012 205 wont be too wide for the wheel, but is too wide for the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carbs4me 45 Posted December 11, 2012 where are you looking for these?

welshpug 1,627 Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Seeing as youre intent on using the "wrong" size then you can't go far wrong a pe2 in a 50 is about £55, far superior to a toyo or a yoko road tyre. Edited December 11, 2012 by welshpug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirGTI 327 Posted December 11, 2012 185/55/15 is best but always seems to be expensive tyre profile with not so much brands making this dimension .. So id go for 195/50/15 if the budget is lower , though , by all means having a good quality tyre is really a must so choose wisely Damir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamie_1992 66 1 Cars Posted December 11, 2012 i hear lots of people rating the r888 tyre is it mainly a track tyre or can it be on road i can only imagine its any good in summer when its dry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ORB 227 1 Cars Posted December 11, 2012 All my cars are shod with Muchelin. It's kind of sad but I'm looking forward to the wife's new A1 getting to needing a set of tyres do I can shoe it correctly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rallyeash 155 Posted December 11, 2012 Track tyre really. I run them solely on my 205 bit it does about 500 road miles a year. I'd go 195 50 15 but not Toyo T1R's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie_1992 66 1 Cars Posted December 11, 2012 ok think il go 195/50/15 but what is a good grippy tyre for the road currently has pirelli p6000 and it just spinns up when you pull away (gti6 power) and i cant afford a new diff yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,000 Posted December 11, 2012 Learning to moderate your right foot is free... Certainly I would avoid budget tyres like the plague (the fact you listed prices suggests you're considering them!) as they'll make even P6000's seem awe-inspiring by comparison - and that's coming from someone that's managed to keep shiny side up all year on a set of P6000's so I'm well aware of their limitations! Michelin PE2's are excellent if a touch pricey, Falken 912's are pretty good, as are Hankook S1 Evo's. They would be the three that I would choose from, although Toyo T1-R's aren't bad in fairness - currently have them on my 306 and have run them on 205's before now.

dcc 855 Posted December 11, 2012 As found out today, there are ZE914's too! They seem best bang for buck and will be fitted to my car when next required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
