Thread: Tires for Boost

nope you will not have any issues

When i bought my turbo B14 the tires it had were 225/50/15 I had no rubbing or issues. I have always like how the 205/50/15 look better when bigger tires for the rim

Hehe not sure if that would be for only fronts you know? hehe

The stock size is 195/55/15

45's are no big deal. You need to concern yourself with the width more than the height, IMO. You're not going for some ghetto fabulous 18+ wheels, so only concern yourself with tire width. Sidewall height has to do with the car's ability to hug turns, etc., which you still shouldn't be TOO worried about, unless you're going to get into some track time on a regular basis.

Now that's news to me! That scews the results a little bit haha.



Well the only reason I want the height smaller is because I love the huge wheel gap!!! Haha just kidding, by using that sight, I want my speedo to be as accurate as possible hehe.

stay with the same diameter if you want better performance. The bigger tires have a bigger contact patch and better traction, but your braking performance will likely suffer. I notice a big difference on my NX2k brakes since I went to bigger tires. The car doesn't stop nearly as well, but it doesn't lock the brakes up as easily either. I vote for the 215-45/r15. I don't know where you will find that one though.

215-45/r15

Is that what you run on your 442whp car?

no. I have 205-55r15. I would like to find a set of nice high perf tires though. These tires suck. All season Fuzion hri.

Not to get technical or anything, but that's not true. Tire size has nothing to do with contact patch area (only the shape). The only deciding factors for contact patch size are the weight of the car and the amount of pressure inflating the tires.


Yah, that defies all logic and every other known brake test result.

Vadim I duno if you ordered those falkens 912, but I highly suggest you don't now. They are terrable in the snow. I'm pretty sure my bald 512's are better.... let alone i noticed i barley have traction with my n/a 200 with them on...I never realized how bad they were...
