I would have a cal-look stance ... so stock height on rear axle. I like this for example (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/streetvw/98%20Volksworld%20show/Pauls67.jpg) Title: Re: Tires for SA Sprintstars ?

Title: Re: Tires for SA Sprintstars ? Post by: Christoph on April 11, 2013, 11:28:39 am I would run 155/80 R15 front, 185/80 R15 rear, I'm running this combo for a few years now without any trouble. Mine are vredestein sprintclassic, not as nice profile as Michelin, but also not so expensive and available with front/rear same profile.

Put Michelin XZX in front and behind vredstein is not good in your opinion ? The Michelin are so beautiful but they are too expensive Title: Re: Tires for SA Sprintstars ? Post by: Zach Gomulka on April 11, 2013, 16:00:20 pm Do you want traditional cal look? 145, 165
"Modern" cal look? 145, 205/70 Cal look with better handling and braking? 175/65, 205/65 Not a rule by any means... Title: Re: Tires for SA Sprintstars ?

The one on the left is fitted with Michelin XZX 155 SR 15 The two on the right are fitted with XZX 165 SR 15 and the two in between are fitted with XZX 145 SR 45 if that can help, all wheels are 4,5s ;) Title: Re: Tires for SA Sprintstars ?
