For those running these tires on the stock cross wheels. Can someone please give me some input? Ride, handling, looks etc.

Thanks, Ed

i have 205/60 and they rub slightly up front when i crank on the wheel (U turns). other than that, they are amazing. REALLY soft compound. Very predictable.

so the 205s rub? If Im lowered on street tech springs. and have 13 inch (6.5 wide wheels) 215s will rub?

when i say rub, it might be because i have 27 year old bushings, old front struts, but the rubbing is on the front tires when making a very sharp u turn and then only. i've had it happen twice and no big deal at all. I wouldnt ever go anything other than these because of that. i would go with 2 215's on the front and see if they rub any more than that. I love my HTRs and will stay with them.

I've heard that 215/50's fit on the stock + style rims with rolling of the fender lips. Its going to depend on the offset of the wheel weather they will fit though. In the front the max width is a 215 IMO, any wider and it will be too close to both the strut and the fender lip. In the rear it is possible to fit about a 235 on rim with just the right offset.

Have not run that size but did alot of research on the preferred size of that particular tire. And it is the 195-60-13 tops. The reason being is because of the sidewall flex of that tire. Also there is a recommendation to run a higher PSI than stock to compensate for the flex also.

I have the 205s. Carl has 215s and likes them (last I heard), but I have a lot of flex with the ones I have and can't imagine how it would be with the 215s. When autocrossing, I often have to run 50 psi or more to keep the tread on the track, rather than the sidewalls....

Dirt cheap tires, and great for that reason alone.... For a street tire they would be great, but there are better choices for racing (but of course they cost more.... lots more).

I don't like mine in the rain, but that may be related to my suspension since I've heard others say that they have no problems. Overall a very decent tire though. Definitely should be a top choice as long as you aren't working with an unlimited budget.

I'm going to put them on the Circle Wheels 13x7's. Circle was having the Holiday sale for $25/wheel. I couldn't believe it so I had to buy a set.

I got 13 x 7 with 4" offset. 4x110mm bolt pattern. 12.5 lbs. $158 including shipping for all 4. I don't think they are doing the Holiday Sale anymore. The usual price is $69/wheel which is still good.

Also, Diamond Racing Wheels have them too.

Here's what they look like. 13x7's with the 215/50's.

RXn407

I had 235's on the rear w/ the stock 4 spoke and 215 sumitomos in the front and it was great!! even for the street and for the track as well. And I ran them to the ground( well almost) and not a single blowout ever and the tires were on the car when I bought it so you know they had some wear on them as welll

I've run Hoosier 225/50's on the stock rims before. They initially rubbed a little on the suspension due to the bulge, but I used a 1/4" spacer and everything was fine after that.

I'm running the Sumitomo HTR200 205/60-13s on stock + rims, with RB springs and KYB schocks. They're *damn close* but they never rub.

Awesome tires. Probably the best you can get on the stock rims, especially for the price.

My vote goes for them, for sure. I'll post a pic or two of mine later, they look awesome. The pics above make 'em look kinda small
