what is a "good" 15" tyre?

[Pasty]

As title really. Not looking to spend loads of money, but i have no experience of 15's so could do with some advice. What is used on the Ph1 172? ideally 45 profile would be best i think?
Any advice very much appreciated.

Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2's
Goodyear Eagle F1's
Toyo Proxie T1-R

In that order. Choose whichever suits your budget best.

why 50 profile? im not being ignorant, but i thought 45 profile would look better?

 

[Beef-Mc]

195/50 are ideal on the 15's.

I found Eagle NCT 5's to be pretty good as well.

 

[maynard]

cant recommend pe2's enough.

 

[DrR]

i think it's mainly cos 45s cost a lot more then 50s

cost and keeping the speedo in check.

Aye, 50s is where it's at.

I've got some 205 TI-Rs on at the moment, surprisingly good on track in the p***ing rain yesterday.
