About to drop $400 on a set of Kumo Ecsta V720 -- 205/50/15 on 15x7's

Anybody have experience with these tires?

Also considering Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R, but a set of Kumo's would be $80 cheaper

pic related; need new tires

What tires do you run on the touge /o/?
>>
Why not wider? I've got 215s on my 16x6.5. You could probably do 225.

>225 on 6.5
Ugh, you're just stupid. Do you really want your tire to slip on the wheel?
>>
>>15305073
I want to stay narrow cause I plan on using these tires year round and will have to deal with snow.
>>
I bought some sumitomo HTRZ2s at wider and bigger than that for $275 that I've been driving for this summer season since early February.
Ebay at that too.

215s on 6.5s is too much.
215mm is 8.5 inches. 205 should be the absolute max for 6.5s. I run 195s on mine.
>inb4 "only 10mm bro"
>>
Get Direzzas, RS3s, or RE71Rs, I heard the V720s like to chunk/delaminate on the track.
>>
You need to look into that tire wear being on the inside of the wheel.

Toyo Proxes T1R, good price, and are actually quite grippy even when hot. However.. for $50 more bucks or more, closer to $80, Goodyear Eagles, in your size. Won't regret it.

>people with large staggered setups
yeah that sounds like real fun, only going in straight lines you're entire life and understeering in every corner

do wider tires fit on the same rim?
for example i'm running 185/55 now, would 200/55 fit on the rim?
>>
>>15305196
are you fucking stupid? I have 255s on 7inch stock wheels and not a single issue
>>
I'm running 205/50/16 BFG SportComp 2 A/S and they do pretty well for me (on a 16x7 wheel).

I would get the RE-71R if I were you, they won't last long but they are the best tire going from what I've heard.
