Hi all

What size tyres are preferable for 15" BBS Alloys?

My car is lowered 40mm.

Any recommended brands?

Cheers

205/55/15

Toyo T1S

or

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3

You coul use 205/50 for a bit less sidewall flex and slightly better acceleration. (not noticeable!!)

I have Avon ZV3 205/55/15.

And contrary to popular belief they are good in the wet :D

I've just ordered 4 Toyo T1-Rs. I've heard really good things, although if money is no object go for the Eagle F1's but I dont think they do the GSD3's in 205/55/15.

(by the way - I used mytyres.co.uk)
