I have a spare set of rims that have good tyres but they came off a RWD.

the fronts are 205's and the rears are 225's.

So I figure I'll go out and buy a pair of 205 or 225 to make them the same to use on my car.

the tyres on there are Yokohama A539.

I'm just wondering what would be the best non semi slick tyre to go on an Attessa equipt car in a 205 or 225 size.

the rims are 16x7's.

Prices and locations in sydney would be good too.

current wheels on car have 225's in Dunlop SP9000.

good choice B-man.

:D

i rang around looking for dunlop sp9000 for my 16x7s and they said they didnt exsist.....hmmm interesting

i'm using Goodyear F1 GSD-3's on my rears and they seem ok in the dry about 6.5 /10 and about a 7.5/10 in the rain (cost $190 about 9 months ago)

i used them at eastern creek curcuit and they heat up quick and start to wobble abit.

What aims do you have from the tyre you're going to fit? Best dry weather grip? Best wet weather performance? Best tyre life? Least noise?

If grip is all you're interested in, get a set of Falken RT215 / RT615s.

If you want a good set of "compromise" tyres, I am a big fan of the DZ101s (which I can no longer get in 17" but are still advertised at 16").

The Goodyear Eagle F1s seem to piss it in when it comes to wet weather performance. Wheels and Motor both had the F1s pulling the best results in their tests.

Pilot Sport

or Pilot Preceda

The Sports are the "better" performance tyre, but they're also the more expensive tyre too. If you can afford the Sports, get the Sports.

If you can afford the Precedas (which, being Michelin, will be more expensive than other tyres of its class) then they'd be a safe bet too. Those tyres also tend to score highly in the magazine tests.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
