what would be the best tyre size for 15s on a mk3? its lowered by about 30/35mm n im bidding on some 15s that have got 195/55's on em, but the tyres look huge! what profile do you think would be best for it to handle well, but still look nice?

ta

 

Best off with 195/45's. The Max I'd go to is 195/50 but even that's pushing it

 

wicked, cheers bud

 

45 profile tyres look good , but there a bit more expensive

go for 195 / 50 profile tyres, theyll be fine, If you want good grip then buy TOYO R888's , theyre an amazing road legal track tyre, but they will only last maybe 6-8 thoudand miles, theyre about 67 qiud each from Camskill

 

any idea what the Toyo T1R's are like?

theres a brand new set 195/45/15 for sale on ebay for £167 which isnt to bad if there any good lol

 

If you use 45 profile on 15s your wheels will be the same size as standard 13/14s so your speedo wont be out

If you go for 50 profile expect it to read wrong by a little

 

cool i'll go for 45's then, just need to find some decent tyres in that size now lol

 

I have had no problems with Kuhmos KU31`s, a low priced 195-45

 

bloody hell they are cheap lol

cheers all

 

and here they are

biddings just ended for them, im pickin them up saturday, what do you all think, do we like em?




i want them white i think, can anybody photoshop them white for me? just want a ruff idea of how they'll look, ta

 

nice. they 50's?

 

there on 55's, but i'll be changin em for 45's on the way back from when i pick them up

 

Can I ask how much?

 

u can, £85

 

Noot to shabby

 

Heres a picky of mine with 50s on the back and 45s on the front! Im sure youl agree the 50s look a little bubbley!! Defo 45s

 

ive got 45s with a 25mm drop its great on the lanes

 

15" rim ET35 with a rim width no larger than 7J mated to a quality 195/45/15 tyre and a suspension drop not exceeding 30mm and you'll have a riot.

I get on very well with Yoko Parada, and Yoko AVS Sport on my S2 and have good reports on the Avon ZV3 that I run on my daily hack. The Yoko A539's on my Fiesta I would describe as acceptable, nothing more

 

I had 45's on my rs500 wheels and they are perfect on a -35mm drop, arches had to be trimmed back though.

 

Those wheels will definately suit it and they'll look loads better with the 45's on!!!

 

same here would like the look of mine if it were lower but i wouldnt wanna mess up the spot on handling.

 

M8.. no need to photoshop... They will look the nuts white on your nlue car.

to give you an idea what white on blue looks like, i know its completely diff car, but im sure you'll get the idea.



def go for 45's. SOunds like you got a well cheap deal there. OZ's for £85. BARGAIN.

 

thats what i thought matey

 

Liams hi i a have a set of cossie wheels the same as on your fiesta to go on my mk3 1.8 zetec turbo are they 195 45 15 you are running them on as my rims have 205 15 and scrub inner strut on front
any help much appreciated #

I would agree with the comment on the A539's - good in the wet but a bit scarey in the dry.

I got my a539's off www.mytyres.co.uk - £45 a corner.
