I am hoping to refinish my a-molds and grt new tires for my 90. My stock wheels have Goodyears and they are wider than my buddies Nittos which is another tire I really like.

Does anyone know how the MTs and Toyos are as far as width when compared to other 315s?

I have the same Toyos on my wifes Cascada but was not able to compare widths to the stock tires.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

I had Toyo R888s on my Z. I bought them because at the time, Goodyear was not producing the 315 GS-D3s and everything else was too narrow for me. They are Goodyear wide and they gripped like glue. I was very happy with them. Attached is a pic of my car with them...not really a great angle to see the rear tires but I think you'll be happy if you go with them, as they are definitely true 315s. Good luck.

Sorry, just saw the links in your post. I have no experience with the Toyo Extensa, only the R888. Also, I did research the Mickey Thompson Street Comp at the time. If I remember correctly, it is actually just a re-labeled Cooper Zeon and it is no wider than Sumis and Nittos.

I have several local buddies that run the R888 (and R888R) on C5s and C6s and all are very happy with them. I wouldn't bother with that M/T as it's just someone else's tire that's been rebranded.

Thanks guys. The Toyos are $505 to my door which is very tempting for an extra set of wheels.

I appreciate the MT info. They are $160 higher than the Toyos.
