now ive currently got falken ze912's fitted that do perform quite well apart from when the roads are remotley wet, when its flogging it down there not that bad

 

 

 

 

 

now im thinking about going 205/45r16's but what others do you have fitted? any piccies on the stretch? how thick are the rim protectors?

 

 

 

i do mainly motorway miles in it so track tyres like t1r's etc arnt nessacery.

 

 

 

was going to go either

Realsed that after i posted its the r1r i was thinkin of at the time :/. They are a sport orientated tyre though and dont last long.

 

Looking ideally for a tyre that has a hardish wall and thick rim protector so contis are looking favourite.
