Track Day Tyres

[Midnight]

Hello guys,

Been looking around and most seem to offer a 205-45-16 but no 195-45-16.

Would 205 be fine on the clio sport ( Cup ) wheels?



Also where is best/cheapest to get semi track day tyres?

Open to either Yoko, Toyo or Federal.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

15's would be cheaper

More choice too if you use 195/50/15.

Tbh I will end up getting 15" wheels but at the moment I'm going to be sticking with the 16's up until Xmas.

Ive just fitted 205/45/16 to mine for sprinting. Wheels rubbed a little but just raised it slightly and all sorted. 205=more grip

On Eibach springs would you think they'd rub?

Dont know mate sorry. Ive only had the car 3 weeks lol so dont know much about the specific mods for Clios.

Probably a good chance they will rub

I bought my tyres from event-tyres.co.uk

Theyre a good price and come to you to fit them at your home or work.

Camskill are good for supply only. Some amazing prices on certain brands

It seems 'MyTyres' are the cheapest for the RSR tyre.

Just unsure about the 205 profile tyre.

I run 205/45/16 RS-R's on et40 wheels (2mm difference to cup turinis, 8mm further out if you count my 10mm spacers) on Eibach Sportlines, 4 deg camber and it rubbed slightly to begin with on the plastic inner arch that covers the bumper bracket.

I let it do its thing and don't get any problem now. Some slight rubbing on the same bit on certain steering angles when manoeuvring, not worth noting though.
