15" tyres choice track & street use

[Liberoz]

Looking for tyre's you've used specifically on 15" rim size

brand and model of tyre
size ? 195/55/15 ect.
where you bought it ?
price paid ?

most importantly what you thought they were like, characteristics, road handling, wear n tear / deterioration, how many Kms you got out of them and what purpose ie some track days and street street only street n strip.

Yokohama A032's
Stick like **** to a blanket, once they have warmed up, cool down quick as well

Falken RXD-01 Soft
Nice soft sticky rally tire :roll:

 

[Liberoz]

[WRCVR4]

The falkens are a 215/65/15 on std VR4/GSR mags (Retail for $350 each)
The A032's are a 205 or 215/50 or 55, cannot remember atm, and its dark

clutz do you know what the largest size tyre will fit profile wise ie 50,55,60 195,205,225 ect on a 15"x6.5" rim without causing drama's on the inner wheel arch (scrubbing)

 

[CLuTZ]

I'm fairly sure its 225, any wider than that and you'll need to go to a 7" wide rim

225 will fit on a 6.5 rim no worries,

it might fowl though? what ofset are your rims ?

i have a set of work rims that are 15x6.5 with a 46 ofset
and they are quite close to the rear trailing arms, maybe 3mm max

I'm running 0z 15x6.5 magnesiums and pretty sure off set is 45
so will a 225 what would be the the size of profile be that wouldn't foul??

 

[DOUGMO]

on the back with that size and ofset the tyre would not
clear in the rear, might hit the wheel arch

will hit the trailing arm(or if not be very very close)

Why go 225 wide on a 6.5" rim? You will be starting to pull a bulge in the sidewall and have more sidewall flex because of it.

I run 205/60/15 A032R's on my vr4 for track days and tarmac events (cost me $50 each second hand from a wrx guy that upgraded to full slicks, they were hardly scrubbed in at all too).

 

[Liberoz]

Taking into account that I own a Libero and the trailing arms have a bigger gap than the sedan irs
So tyre choices would be (correct me if I have made a mistake here)

What profiles listed below would be best for track only use

205/60/15
205/55/15
215/55/15
215/50/15
225/45/15

also add any others if i have missed any

205/50 15
