As above, looking for advice on the correct tyre size.
The car is fitted with B4 Dampers and eibach springs.
I've noticed that the standard tyre size of 205/55/15 doesn't have much tyre options.
Is there any other options for the 15" wheels?

I have used 225/50 15 before, slightly smaller profile but useable
The Wiki link above has some outdated tyre choices but over the past five years I have used Uniroyal Rainsport 3's and Toyo Proxies also Toyo Proxie winter option.

Thanks for the reply. There seems to be even less choice for that tyre size though.fixedwheelnut wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 10:46 pmhttps://www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.php?title=TyresBinkerment wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 10:32 pmAs above, looking for advice on the correct tyre size.

Plenty of choice for 205/55/15 https://www.camskill.co.uk/m53b0s289p0/ ... _205_55R15
You think tyres for a set of standard 15" wheels is hard, try finding a good set of matching tyres for staggered Alpinas.
Now I have got round to having Lepsons refurbish my original wheels, I don't fancy shoeing them with Chinese ditch-finders.
Having different makes front and back doesn't do much for me either. Good job I'm in no rush

I'm on 205/50/15 which have been fine. My car is slightly lowered at the front as well.
