I have these on my camaro
They have lasted a long time for such an agressive tread. Im serious like 40k miles. Definitely sprang a slow leak from sitting.

I have these on my e30, 14 inch wheels. Believe it or not I think these have more grip but last like almost nothing. I would say they are at 60% after 10k miles.

I recomend either.

a lot of people like yokohama s drive or falcon 912s. In this size though I would get some nittos I know they are good.

was more looking for a tire size not brand, the links you posted are 205/55/15 is that a ideal tire for a e30 318is lowered on the grey H&R springs

ya that is the size you want

Another vote for 205/55/15.

thats cool but put some disc brakes on there.

My e30 is kinda ugly so ill be the first one to tell you. Putting big wheels on a drum brake is like putting spandex on your beer belly.

oh ps, I actually own both of those tires I just linked, they are outside on vehicles I own or drive.

The treadware rating of the 512 is 360, and the treadware rating of the nitto is 300.

But I swear to go almighty that the camaro tires have seen way more speed than the e30 tires, and they are 4 years old and have driven 37k miles. whereas the bmw falken 512s are on a 700 pound lighter car thats only seen a few 90 mph tests, and after 10k they are worn almost as much.

So that number means nothing. If someone is telling me that number means the opposite then i understand.

I'd hardly consider 15" wheel "big". Lol. I have a complete i rear subframe and trailing arms. The car came with all different tires that were completely shot.

Oh you mean ready to put on? Thats cool.

No they definitely get bigger and the bigger they are with drum brakes the more ridiculous. It is definitely the honda civic scene to me.
Im not cool but Im too cool for that.


( the camaro I drive has 18 inch with rear drums like american racing and I hate it.)
