patpong_pete 0 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 195/40/17 not cheap 195/35/17 very rare205/40/17 is what most people go for toyo proxies TS1 or TR-1can pick them up for 55-65 poundsnot the best tyre but meant to have good grip in wet and dryi heard they are soft compound which means they will burn down quite quickshould last for 6-7k milesso miss Blondie what rims did you have in mind?just checking but your red fire engine is sitting on the floor how are u getting them rims on thats going to be fun and may have to roll them archerslet us know and if poss upload some pics Link to post Share on other sites
blondie 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Been told the 205 are probably what I should go for. I already have my arches rolled but am having sum uber secret work done. I have sum wheels sitting at home. Was guna try one and see how it looks etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 On a 7.5" Rim you will need a 205/40/17 tyre ;-)Same as I have on my BBS splits, Also 7.5 Wide.Mine catch the arches slightly but if your are rolled you will get away with it. Mine are due for rolling soon.If you want a stretch then go for a 195/40/17. You will not have much of a choice in tyre though. Only about 3 last time I looked and all rather pricey.Arches rolled so stick to a 205 ;-)Mark. Link to post Share on other sites

kalv 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I got some 195/40/17's oin mine and picked them up for about £70 each on the bay - Hankook make.. not too bad.. just a bit under-steery in the wet? Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yeah Hankook where one of the set's that came up when I was looking. Never been fond of them but then again I have never had them.....The others I think were continental (Again never tried but never liked) andf the others were Pirella which were very expensive. This is mainly the reason I chose 205 rather than a good stretch.205 gives a slight stretch on a 7.5 rim, just not huge. I would have prefered more but will go more stretchy when I move to a 16" rim :-)Gonna try and find out what you are doing to your car this sunday Kerry so be warned ;-)Mark.
