Brammo Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I have 15x8s at the back and 15x7s at the front and am currently running 195/45 on the 8's and 165/50s on the 7s. I really don't like the stretch on the 7's and it also doesn't match up very well with the rear tyres. So I thought I would take a look at 175/50s but they don't appear to have hardly any stretch at all. I am looking at Kumho's in particular. Is it because they have different sidewalls? I am just confused how the gradient of the tyre wall can vary so drastically of a 10mm drop in width.I have found the tyres on this website:http://www.camskill....5_50R15_75H_TL_They appear to be very cheap which makes me want to go for them.They also sell a 165/55:http://www.camskill....5_55R15_75V_TL_Which might look a bit better.What is everyone else running?

jamiea7x Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 its purely down to the brands, a falken 195 for example will differ in size form a yokohoma, , its the same for anything brand will intepret their own sizes and hence will all differ slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammo Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 At the minute Bridgestone Potenza RE040. The back Rainsport 2's.http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=print&thread=115300If you scroll to the bottom of that it shows a picture with the 165/55's fitted and I quite like the look of them so I reckon I will give camskill a call in the morning and buy a couple of them.
