yea i'm with the poster of this thread. I just bought Silver 15" Rota slipstreams and need to get tires for them. I had 17"s before with low profile Toyo Proxies and they were the worst ride of my life. I could feel every small pebble on the ground and a crack in the road felt like a pothole. Any recommendations on tire sizes? i think the rim is 15 x 6.5...when it comes to tires im clueless

 

Well that's normal with a lower profile tire. Of course you will feel every pebble. It's the difference of sleeping on a bed and a piece of paper on a rocky ground.

For a 15x6.5" wheel I would go with 205/50x15". It's almost the same size as stock so it will not mess up your odometer and speedo, and has more of c ontact patch for traction.

I would recommend:
Kumho 712s
Falken Azenis
Yokohama ES100
Toyo T1-S
BFG KDs
Bridgestone S03s

 

thanks man :thumbup:

yea i was looking at the falken azenis and the kumho 712's..also the dunlop sp sports
205 is width
50 is height right?

oh yea, im lookin for year round tires too, not just summer ones

 

Yes 205 is the width and 50 is the percentage of the width for the sidewalls.

If you want all seasons I would go with the Dunlop SP Sport 5000. My wife has them on her car and we can truck through snow and some ice. The Azenis and Kumho 712s can't do that - I've tried it

 

$68.00 jsut for shipping for (4) tires; comes out to a few bones less than buying from discounttiredirect.com

 

yea i think im gonna go with them

thanks for the help man, yea pa roads + winter weather = crappeh

 

how do u like the ride Mantis?? Good? Im thinking about getting them. Any warenties or coverage??

 

Oh, I don't have them. I just inquired them about it. I like to ask. I will have them this summer though. :thumbup:

 

cool cool, anybody who has these like to make a review on them??
