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.

i was heading in the conti's direction, but ended up with michies 145/80's.. dunno if it was the right choice... but i guess in "kinda" at a legal height🙂

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.

We told him Hitler never had a bug but he swears he saw it in a book and that was Hitlers bug🤓

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!!!
Damn you beat me to it Costa...
