STS Tires 1991

[riverman1]

Since I have made the jump to STS, I will move to 15" wheels/tires, as soon as my 14"s are used up.

The research I have done points heavily in favor of RE71R for tires, but I can't decide between the 205 and 195 sizes.

Some people seem to be running the 205's because that's the max allowed. While some think the 195's are more suitable for our little 1.6 bangers.

What is the consensus from the learned individuals here on DFWM?

People choose 195 or 205 mainly based on availability. The difference is negligible. You want 15x7.5 wheels and 205/50-15 Bridgestone RE71r or BFG Rival S, or 195 if you find them.

Thanks guys.

Mike, that may be the most sensible answer I have seen.

Hey guys. I ended up getting the 205s. Have them mounted on the 7.5" 6ULs and waiting for the next autoX. What pressures are you guys finding to be optimal?

Wow, that low? That's what I run on the street.

I have been running about 32-34 in my Falkens.

I will try 28, Thanks for the help.

Two extreme ends of the spectrum. Mike, are you running that on a Miata or your Mini?

Mini of course. Just muddying the waters a bit. :)
