Picking the right tire size for 15's. What is the best size? Dezoris has 195/55/R15's but all those tires in taht size are gonna burn a hole in my pocket. Any reccomendations for 15" tires? Ive heard Kumho Ecsta's. But i was just trying to keep an open mind instead of jumping to conclusions

Thanks in advance peoples

kumho ecsta supras are great tires, at a very good price. i went with 195/50-15's when i had my konig tuners back in the day.....they were only about $60 a piece but that was for NT-450's. kumho's are probably about the same price, maybe a tiny bit less if you shop around.

i have NT-450's on my 16's.....i have had absolutely no problems with them at all.......great tires imo, and good price too, i only paid like $73 a tire incl mounting and balancing.

My budget aww shit i didnt know they listed them per wheel

back to the drawing charts

I think ill get a tiebar next sounds cheaper

Yo!
I have 195/50/15s the reason, is because there is a better selection

What do you want to spend?
Plan on 80 per tire, that will open your doors.

What kind of car do you drive? Remember wider is better. The Khumos are excellent tires for dry and wet but not snow.

hes got a 7g civic....there is a proper width, going too wide is bad, mmmkaaaay

you are correct- i mean in terms of the car, like a 225 size is as big as I would go.

12-18-2001, 11:35 PM
