What Rubber Are You Running?

[Shadow1]

is there anyone running a 215/60 or a 215/55 on CD5 rims? i wanted to know if thats too wide and if i would expect rubbing.

Presently: BFGoodrich 195/60r/15 8/10
but then again im running those up front, A yokohama touring on the back and another off brand on the other side. they grip very well. im gone around a 90 degree turn at about 40mph and they held their own. i may get some more yokohama touring because i like their tread pattern. id want to try them out and see how they handle.

I have 205-50-16 yokohama es100 I really like them

Got some BFGoodrich G-Force Sports put on about a month ago. So far, They're great, low noise, thinner sidewall than my previous Fuzion Zri's and Tremendous grip. Don't really know how well they are in the rain, because ever since i put them on in early Oct. it hasn't rained! at all! I'd rate them a 10/10, they're perfect to me.

for sure, i love the gforce sports too. i rotated my tires so now i have some kumho all season KH11 and they squeel around turns

but now i have azenis but im afraid to run them in the rain.

whats the widest i can run on my CD5 15s? i have 195/60/15 right now. can i run a 205/55?

Idk, aren't OEM 15s only 5.5 inches in width? a 205 tire would be about a little over 8 inches in width at the contact patch. That might be risky running THAT wide of a tire on those. The only way would be to mount them up and see if there are any issues

yeah i think running 215s in general in the back makes me rub in turns, i'm going to try and roll my fenders this weekend.

dag. i was thinking i could because i have 195/60 right now. i was just hoping i could use a little bit of a wider tire.

Enduro 606 195/60/15 - cheap and reliable. 8/10

word. thats what im running. not bad in the wet either

Kumho Ecsta AST's- They're only a few weeks old, but so far they stick up to 50 Mph w/o squealing (at least none I can hear) Interstate merges rock with them.

im running a 205/60/15 tire on CD5 rims and they look good but i roll over the tire. so i have a lot of wear on the outer edge even at 38psi.

ive got my konigs wrapped in some 205/40/17 Fuzion ZRI's they still have nearly all the tread left on em cause a piston went bad a few months after i got em

[accordmaniac]

1. Hankook K102 205/55-15 (4/10) - too much tire noise due to wide tire pattern
2. Yokohama DNA db ES500 215/40-17 (8/10) - quiet, nice tire pattern for CB7
3. Dunlop SP9000 215/45-17 (9/10) - grip + stopping, really good.
4. Toyo Transas Teo 195/60-15 (7/10) - good for everyday driving

Wanli S-1088 - 215/40/17; had them since October 2006, no camber wear whatsoever til now since i'm dropped on gc coilovers.

[Shadow1]

so i take it 205/50 is too wide for the CD5 EX rims because they will rub?
