Pugrich 4 2 Cars Posted January 2, 2011 Whats the weather like in Austria and what are the road surfaces like? I`ll use the Rallye just in Summertime, 20 to 25°C! Most Streets are Tarmac in reel good condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted January 2, 2011 Well i'm jealous Personally i would go for a Toyo R888 or a Yokohama A048, not cheap but very high grip levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pugrich 4 2 Cars Posted January 2, 2011 What do you think about that R888: http://www.pro-track.de/rennreifen/toyor88...6013vmedium.php Are 7 inch rims possible for this tyre? Is this dimensin OK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205Rallee 59 Posted January 2, 2011 What do you think about that R888: http://www.pro-track.de/rennreifen/toyor88...6013vmedium.php Are 7 inch rims possible for this tyre? Is this dimensin OK? I have run these PTS wheels on a 1.3 Rallye, with tyres in sizes:- 185 60 x 13, 175 60 x 13, 175 50 x 13 and 195 45 x 13. If you are using the car on the road in the summer, then Kumho V70a (medium Compound - K60) will be superb. Depending on your gearing the best road only tyre would be either a Bridgestone RE720 in 175 50 x 13 or Continental Sport Contact in 195 45 x 13. As far as I am aware there aren't any good 185 60 x 13 tyres made anymore, I found the Yokohama A539's particularly poorin both wet and dry conditions.

AdamP 0 Posted January 3, 2011 I wouldn't run silly low profiles tyres like 175/50s or 195/45s. No need on a 205 and especially a euro rallye where they're already geared so low. I run 185/60 R13 A048Rs and they supply far more grip than you could ever need on the road. I'd be looking for hard compound if you use it hard for long periods of time at those temperatures, I could overheat the medium 48Rs very quickly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,646 Posted January 3, 2011 how about AD08? more tread than AO48, don't know if they come in 13" though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurboSam 5 Posted January 3, 2011 Personally I'd avoid track focused tyres like the R888 on the road. While they are amazing on the track, they are expensive and they can be a bit loud and harsh on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah well I'm happy being silly! Mine's geared at less than 12mph in fifth but then I don't drive it on the road for anything other than fun. The fastest people in road going 205 1400's "up North" use 175 50 13's (Spikey -Team Geen Motorsport) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know thats the reason a lot of the 106 people use 175/50s. And is that using an XS gearbox? I find 1st gear a bit short anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
