15"-225/50 tyres?
i have worn out my 15" 225/50 rear tyres, but i'm having a hard time finding a manufacturer that produces tyres in that size.
(i have found some but price/style is an issue, gotta look cool right?) if anyone have som tips they are welcome!

that is a really odd size. drop to 215 or 205/50's and you will have a much larger selection and a better fit if you are on stock fenders.

i know, but it fits just right. can't afford 17" but soure want some, maybe later, by the way i have +2,5" on all 4 corners, so there is no problem with space.

I'm a big kumho fan (korean tire company)...they have 225/50/15s in their ecsta 711 model tire...i love all of the kumho tires i have tried thus far. Great price, excellent traction and wear. They run about 50 bucks each here in the US

Kumhos are great tires for everything except one, looks. Unfortunately it is important to me, and the sidewall on Kumhos are square and ugly. I just got a set of 205/40/17 Pirellis. They have very sexy sidewalls and are'nt priced too badly.

Price is up there, but Pirelli has a PZero Asymetrico in 225/50/15 for $135US. Mine are the PZero Nero, whatever that means.

If durability is not your concern, you may try Dunlop D01J street legal racing tyres. They have 195/55, 205/55, 205/50, 225/50. Cost around US$100+/-, depends on sizes.
