VR6 Tires - What have you got now or what should i get?

[VR28LT]

Only pics i have but this is when i fitted a set of Falken 195/50s

nankangs are great for the $$. yours are probably old, which any tyre is going to be rubbish once it gets tired

according to the sticker on the fuel flap 205/50 are what should be fitted to the standard BBS rims...

Here's a few photos though it's probably a little hard to see against the black. These are the Yokohama AD08R 205/50/15

man those AD08rs look sweet, but would be such overkill for my car... that and their cost....

looking at maybe some Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 in 205/50/15 to try and maintain original sizing so as to not much around with the speedo which i'm wary for since my bro drives this most and don't want him getting done for doing a few km over the speed limit.

Rs3 195/50

Was about to pull trigger on some 195/50/15 Pilot Sport 3, but just remembered to check the load rating and they are only 82 (as are most 195/50 i've realised) so may instead just get some Hankook H457 Ventus 2 Concept 2 in 205/50/15 86 which is what the VR6 needs.

farout i knew it was too good to be true to be able to get cheap sticky tires

Yeah but wouldn't a 195/50 have a smaller circumference, meaning the speedo would read slightly faster than actual?

So speedo may read 63 km when really doing 60 (just a guess, I've not bothered with the actual calcs )

[HaydEn]

If anything more accurate. Clusters are slow as is

[doridori]

Yeah I did the calcs and 195/50/15 does work out to be in my favour but most of them are 82 load rated instead of 86 and I'm worried that if anything happens insurance may refuse the claim since it's not correctly rated.

Just bought 4x Hankook H457 Ventus 2 Concept 2 at JAX in Artarmon Sydney with a wheel alignment for $500 and it falls under the new Hankook Promo so i can claim a $100 gift card back.

Pretty good deal i thought, no AD08R but at less than half the price it'll suit fine for a daily
