    14" tires

    I know tires are discussed a lot and I did several searches but the results were too outdated. What are people running on 14" rims that are decent tires for an e30 325e? Most if not all that I find are cheap second tier tires.

    there is a yoko and a kumho available that are a bit more performance oriented. i think the yoko more so than the kumho. it's about the same choices i have in 15's as well.
    pirelli still makes a 4 season passenger in a 205 but i don't think they do a performance anymore.

    No e30s, again :(
    You can get tiger paws, too. They were great tires on all three of the e30 me and the kids had recently

    +1 to Uniroyal Tiger Paws. I was told from a tire tech they're made by Michelin, yet with the same quality and a fair bit cheaper.

    I discovered them 5 years ago when I had trouble sourcing 14" tires made for anything but a Prius... so my bottlecaps had to go and I threw on some 15" basketweaves with spacers. Running 195/60s. Curious to try a more aggressive width someday but ya can't go wrong with stock!

    I liked them so much I got another set for my XC70, and I'm getting a fresh set for the eta as well.

    I've got Vredestein Sprint Classic 185hr14 on my 14" euroweaves. I love them. They are not expensive. I got mine from my local BMW dealer in Encinitas, CA.

    they have a horrible rep on wet pavement and gravel. like driving on marbles,
    vredestein has carves out a business making crap tires in classic sizes no one can find any more. end of the road tire.
