Tires, What tires? Options

[blkGT]

Right now I've got Toyo Proxes Fz4's (225/50/15)

Now I've got stock rims on my 94' celica gt.

Im looking to get some new tires but everywhere I go they tell me I should be using 205/something.

What size do you suggest I put on? I don't serious street race or anything. I just want an all around good tire size. Thanks for your time.

215-50-15's would be a good size over all. Good width on them. Ive got 205/45/17's on mine and will probably go up to a 215 width on them for larger contact size. But if you want traction or a wider contact with the road then stay with your 225's but if you want a little less then 215 is probably better.

I like the 205/50/15s on mine. They look good and there is plenty of contact patch for me. Right now I'm running Kumho Ecsta 712s, and have run Bridgestone Potenza RE730 and RE910(at seperate times) before. Overall the RE730 was the best, but they wear out after 15-20k. The 910 wasn't too bad, and they normally last about 40-50k(I wore mine out in some gravel).

for the stock wheels the CORRECT AND MANUFACTURERS SIZE is 205/55/R15. you dont need any bigger or different size then that if you are not racing or anything. Plus I really dont understand how you can slap on a tire thats bigger then the wheels, someone please explain that (ie yall sugesting 215 width tires when the stock wheels sugest 205 width tires)

Keep it light, I know stock is 205/55/15, but I suggest 195, 50 15. I have them on right now and the lighter tire feels great, plus if you go to onlinetires.com, you can get Toyo T-1S tires for $59 each. Excellent tire at a really good price.

Chrobis, I have stock wheels on now and they are wrapped in Toyo Proxes Fz4's (225/50/15)

I just dont have the cash to go pay over $100 per tire.

But they have treated me very well.

i've had the falken ziex 502's (205/55/15) on the stockers, and they were awesome. i have them on my 17's now too, still love em..

Will these tires fit on my stock rims?
205/50-15

Thanks alot.

If the stock rims are 15x6.5 or 15x7(not sure, I never had stock, just some AR 15x7) then 205/50/15 should work fine. I'd stick with 205-215 if possible. Anything smaller and you don't have much tread on the ground, and anything bigger(well, bigger than 215) and you risk rubbing them when you take sharp turns.
15x7 can accept up to about 225, they'll just stick out a bit further. I used to run 225/75/14 on my 85 Celica with no problems(stock 'supra' rims, 14x6.5).

Just remember that in 205/50/15, 205=width in mm, 50=height in % of width, 15=inner tire/rim diameter.

If you were thinking about a certain brand of tire and had the money, i'd say Yokohama Parada Spec 2. If you're broke, get the Kumho 712's...best bang for the buck
