Just had my 145/65/15 continental EcoContact EP's fitted today, and my god do they lower the front.

The guys from Tyre Power Nowra were watching as i drove out the driveway waiting for me to scrape.
But i disapointed them :thumb

They ride nice and smooth and i can finally get full lock without scrubbing.

Cheers to all those who have posted topics regarding these tyres as i studied them before my purchase.

195x65s will do the trick I think. By the way what width are your front rims?

I have 185/65/15's on the rear now.
I think that i might go 175/55/15, continental make them in the ecocontact ep.


Rukus, the front rims are 5.5inch, they fit on very easily.
And FYI they cost $162 each, and that was getting them sent from melbourne to south coast NSW.

Cool thanks Lee. I've decided to go with 165x45s on my 5.5 rims. Bit more peace of mind grip-wise (width) but a whole lot of fun with sidewall height!!!
