For anyone interested, there's a a $50 rebate if you buy 4 Dunlops from Tire Rack between 2/13 - 4/17:
Should I get:
- $378 205/50/15 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec (extreme performance)
- $250 205/55/15 Dunlop Direzza DZ101 (ultra high performance)
The goal is to make this a canyon carving daily driver. The plan is to attend 1-2 HPDE/year. I only have 2 track days under my belt, so I don't need a crazy aggresive tire. Up-sizing to 16's isn't an option.
I've read awesome things about the Z1 Star Spec, but it's only available in the smaller 205/50 size. I've already reduced the gearing with a 4.10 LSD from 3.73, and I'm afraid that the 3.3% reduction will make the gearing on the stock M20B25 too short.
I also don't want to drop the car too much since the Bilstein / H&R sports drop the car by ~1.25. The smaller tires will drop it by another .8"
My setup:
'89 325i
15x7 BBS RZ
M20B25 / 4.10 LSD (stock chip / injectors)
Bilstein Sport / H&R Sport
22mm FSB / 19mm RSB
