E30 Zone

Hi which tyres would be best to run on my 15" bbs 205 55 15s or 205 50 15s and what brand thanks.

I run 15" bbs 205/55's rear and 205/50 fronts, Toyo t1r's and I rate them very highly!

Correct size is 205/55 15.
Getting harder to find these days,so the slightly lower 50 profile will be significantly cheaper.
I paid Blackcircles about £130 for a pair of Toyo's in April.
I would be wary of running different diameter's front/rear,especialy on an ABS equipped car...

Thanks boys the 50s are a lot cheaper then 55s some are £15 a tyre cheaper !! would there be much difference in speed!

I just had 2 Toyo proxes T1R's fitted for £105 all in, Company is called Ablefit in Bristol, The tyres are excellent, very grippy and look rather sexy too ( in a rubbery type of way!) Size was 205 55 15's by the way.

I've just fitted 205/50 T1Rs, the car feels a bit more nimble, little bit less wallowy, if that makes sense?

However, I was running 55 profile budgets before, which explains a lot.

thanks boys 50s 55s 50s 55s going

If you can find the tyre you want in 55 profile go with that, 50 profile will lower your car by 10.3mm which will also mean a bigger arch gap (if your into the stance of your car) as overall the tyre is 20.6mm smaller than 55 profile.

Get the toyo's if you can, good tyres.

thanks iam going for 55s toyo

Would run 50's personally.. 55's have a huge sidewall.

All of those are more expensive though..

For the money Toyo's are pretty much unbeatable

toyo's are awesome!
