16 Inch Tyres.

[TTT]

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.

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.

Pilot Sport

or Pilot Preceda

I'd like the sport ones but it doesn't seem to come in 16's..

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.
