S/T, RSR Tire Selection...

[merbesfield]

My relatively small TOYO RA1's (even sitting on carpet squares) do this same thing.....

Has anyone tried those plastic tires chair thingies?

I have TB15 18/60 (Fuchs 9x15) and 23/62 (11x15) on my 2.8 RSR tribute. On wet roads - not heavy rain of course - I find the handling great, because of the soft side, but the very soft rubber as well. So far you don't reach aquaplaning, these tires are perfect to me. And it's raining quite a lot in Switzerland...

I have 8" and 9" Fuchs for my ST and the suggested tire is Michelin TB15 18/60-15 front, 26/60-15 Rear.

I now have a set of 9" and 11" Fuchs for my ST and looking for tire sizes. You went with the same tire size up front but for the rears you went 23/62.
Is this the way to go with this size fuchs?

What tyre pressures are you guy's running in your 7" & 9" fuchs on your ST cars. ?

I have 7R on the front and 8.5” minilites on the back. Started off w TB’s. Once I got used to the sidewalls, they were tons of fun, super sticky; however, they picked up sand/rocks like crazy! Toying with tire pressures (especially on rear) helped the manners a bit.

Once worn out they were replaced with Avons. I absolutely love them. None of the odd sidewall action, much more stable, quick and don’t pick up rocks. In my view they don’t look as nice as the TBs. I’m pretty much w Avon’s here on out.

Which Avons and which dimensions are you using on your 7s?

this is the same tire size that works on the Fuch 8s and 9s.

I will post this weekend

For the size, front is perfect with 18/60.

On the rear, 26/61 are good as well, but the tires touch sometimes the wings... I changed the size for 23/60 and it's perfect and doesn't bother the handling on open roads.

would 11" Fuchs be too wide for ST flares?

[Longballa]

As you already know from my other reply on your other post. Yes.
