    Another vote for Falken Ziex. They look great in a 205/60 on stock weaves.

      Well you did say a sport tire. If you want something with better tread wear perhaps some federal 595s would be more up your alley

        225/50/14 Toyo R888. Work well for my AutoX car. I get them from John B with 75% tread for $145.

          Wear is inversely proportional to grip and cost. You have to decide where on that spectrum you want to operate. Any less than Azenis 615K is going to give you sucktastic grip. And IMHO, replacing high-grip tires twice as often is the single best bang-for-the-buck performance mod you can make on an E30. Here's a couple choices:

              for my Suby Spec B I had the 615´s and loved them driving 20k miles a year wore them out in one year. I then switched to the Zeix 912´s they were a great cheaper replacement which were rated for highe rmilage driving. Needless to say my E30 is getting fitted with a new set of 615k´s for the price they can not be beat.
