onlinetires.com 205/60 for less.

[xcx4x]

Wider cross section = better traction, and looks better, IMO. Yes, will work with any OE 14" rim.

Ok I'll definitely consider it if they carry it. If they don't then ill just have to get the 195 65 14. Will this fit the basket weaves as well?

My main thing is price. Right now wheel works has them for 59/tire so it's hard to say no to that. 355 total for install taxes and environment fees.

And why?

I do plan on getting new runs farther down the line. Specifically the basket weaves. Will the 205/60 work for both?

so after going through the past 20 pages, im going to conclude this:

-for the average joe like me who needs some regular tires for regular driving, the Falken Ziex 912 is a safe-bet, all around great tire for its price.

-I'm getting them for 59/tire or 355 total with taxes, environmental fees, installation, etc. (267 for just the tires)
-65000 warranty, free rotation, balancing.

-i've got stock bottle cap rims sitting on stock height. Tire Size: 195/65/14


+if anyone disagrees, please chime in because im about to drop 355 big ones on some tires!!!! :-)

Either raise your front end up with spring pads or different spring hats or don't turn your wheels at full lock. Many people (read: everyone) with very low cars opt for the second option.

Hey probably a dumb question, but I need to raise my front end a bit to give me some suspension travel. Where do you get thicker spring pads to raise it?

also, should I get S drives or Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 for a 204/55/15 wheel? Daily driver mostly, a little auto x/track duty.

I replied in your other thread, very, very bad idea.

So did I, if you got a good price hang on to them. I have about 14k on these tires now on my 15x7 K1's I have auto-x'ed them at 3 events and generally drive like a jack ass on these tires @ all times as my e30 is more or less a toy. These tires hold up well, are pretty grippy, and I have overall been pleased with them. I live in southeastern NC where winter tires aren't needed though. I expect another 2-3k out of these tires.

I can't tell from the mounted picture, but are these on stock basketweaves? I am under the impression that the largest tire I can run on the basketweaves is 205-60-14 is that correct?

They are 225/45-16 mounted on e38 filled and drilled style 5s.

I know this is an alder post, but you can definitely fit wider...

I once ran 215-60-14s on caps.

225/50/14 R-comps :P
