Thread: 15" tires?

  1. #1

    Default 15" tires?

    Might play with the Mini in STX. What is a good 15" tire on a 15X7 wheel?

    Based on testing that I have seen, any of those but the Star Spec has seemed to work well on small cars.

    Star specs work great on the Elise. In GRM Andy Hollis did a test with his Civic I think the AD08 was the winner followed closely by the XS. I'm trying the XS next on the S2000.

    Andy was on the AD-08 at the last A&M/Spokes event and really liked them :)

    I'd go with a RE-11 or AD08 (probably the Yoko if you don't care about contingency...I think they may be the tire now)

    I had the older 615's and switched to the XS's. Love the XS's in the heat. I'm runing 205/50/15's BTW. Have a set sitting at the shop if you need them quick.
