Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] tires sizes for standard rev 3 wheels
rev3 turbo certainly had 195x55 fronts and rears were 225x50 on the stock 15's.
I'm sure the n/a's were same sizes

Don't you mean 225/50/15 on the back?

As said above standard for rev2's onward was 195/55/15 front and 225/50/15 rear.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] tires sizes for standard rev 3 wheels
Fair enough, I've got toyos on the front and falkens on the back.
Unless you do something very stupid they are perfect I can't see why nobody rates them

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] tires sizes for standard rev 3 wheels
great i also have toyo's on the rear for everyday use, they are a great tire but a bit pricey due to the odd size but well worth it
.
i was thinking about putting yokohama prada spec 2 on the front

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] tires sizes for standard rev 3 wheels
sorry i should explain the yokohama
A 048 will be used on tracks i.e the nurburgring on spare set off rear wheels, leaving the toyos for everyday use, also on the front are cheap rubbish and i was going to try the parada spec 2 any thoughts

No worries.
You'd definitely want to lose the cheap rubbish on the fronts
- it will completely change the feel of the car having good rubber on.

I've been meaning to try Paradas for a while but I haven't got around to it so I can't comment really, it's probably worth noting that I've not even seen them in 195/55/15, only 195/50/15 so they may be difficult to find unless you have a good source.

If you're only going to be changing the rears around I can't recommend AD08s enough for fast road/track use.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] tires sizes for standard rev 3 wheels
I run 205/50/15 on the front of mine, funnily enough that is what size was on the rear when I got it.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
So,
Front: 205/50/15
Rear: 225/50/15

Seconded.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
205/50/15 fronts and 225/50/15 rears is the
'best' or at least most neutral
(and hence quickest) combo.
Ideally on 7' rims all round so the fronts are a little stretched compared to the rears for a crisper turn in
(add a 15mm spacer to the rears for that staggered effect).
Best all weather tyre available in those sizes
