Tirerack.com had 195/60R14 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec on a closeout deal. I really hope they look good (factory-ish)!?

I have been told that they are a really sticky tire and as this car is a weekend car only, I am sure I will get a couple years out of them.

Could you guys post up a pick or two, that are running that size tire. I want to see if the wheel gap is to much for me.

thanks everybody

Hey, so how did those tires work out for you? Pictures? Not sure if I should get those or the 225 70 14 BFgoodrichs. Completely different tires but I think the Goodrichs will have some pretty good traction despite not being track oriented as they are 30mm wider than the Direzza.
Thanks(also I know i'm bumping a 7 month old thread.)

John,

I have the same BF goodrich tires. I love them. I've never gone crazy with them like somebody might do at a track, I just do a lot of aggressive cornering on mountain roads. I've never heard them squeal around a corner. Never hydroplaned either

Thanks dubrict. Very nice to know. Yeah, i think thats what ill be going with then.

Hang on, mine are 225 60 14

Those 70's might be a bit tall. Mine are already 10mm taller than stock. 70's would be a full 56mm taller

Yeah that was a typo. Should have been 60. Thanks though.
