    So I bought Farbin's euroweaves.

    What size tire should I run? What kind of tire? What tire specifically?

    My car is not my daily driver and is used for nice day driving and autocross and the occasional track day. Leaning toward Hankook RS3s in 225/45/15 but am concerned due to the longevity of the tires. Any other ideas?

      205/55 or 225/50 are correct. 225/45 would look pretty good but that's an oddball size in a 15" isn't it?

          yes it is. the only street tires in that size are the Hankook RS3's Toyo Proxes and some weird Nitto.

              Eh, I wouldn't care not to spoil myself with nice tires if the car is only driven spiritedly and and weekends.

                Don't do 225-45. I'm currently running RS-3's and while it is an amazing tire the size kills me. I'm not even half life on the tread and I want to change to a larger tire.

                  Why does the size kill you?

                    It's not slightly undersized, it's largely undersized. If one were to use them for strictly track or auto X sure, but street driving sucks. Speedometer is way off and they look like ass from a direct side profile.

                        I can't wait for them to arrive and have Danny open the boxes, just so I can post the pictures of the places I gently rested my ample balls upon.

                          225/45 RS3's on a 15x8 +25




                          I do wish they were wider though... I have to run 20mm front, 25mm rear to make these fit decently...

                              Dont be afraid to go with a 205 width RS-3. I went from 225/45/16 Hankook RS-2s to a 205/50/16 RS-2, and I was surprised they were pretty much the same width, with ever so slightly more sidewall height on the 205. The 225s were a tad short.
