Time to get some new tyres I think. just wondering what experience people have
had with them and what their prefeered tyre choice is. and why?

Also wondering what is the biggest size (width) you
have been able to put on stock rims? (If you have them. 185? 195!!??

I dont really want to discuss rims (brands) but if your tyre
is on a 16 or 17 inch rim. just mention the specs... eg 16X7 205/55/16 or whatever..

205/45/16s on my 16x7.5 rims. I'm using Yokohama ES100s. Pretty awesome tires! Long lasting and really stick to the road!

I have Pirelli P5000 on mine 195/60/14 and they are pretty good

185's was about the biggest i could get on the stock et turbo rims i had.
on my chromies i had 205's, made a huge difference - 205 45 r17's

on my 200, i have 225 r16's, toyo tpg's, and i would recomend having a good look at these, they stick really well, while still being a cheapish tyre. They are also pretty awsome in the wet being a directional tread

205/40 R17's on the front
215/40 R18's on the rear (dont ask me how)...i think he rolled the panel out to get them in there or something :eek:
