Re: ZR tire recommendations...

<<<I've decided that either 195/50ZR 15 or 205/50ZR 15 is the size 
I'll
get.  What size rim does each belong on?  15x6.5 or 15x7?  What 
brands?
I've looked at the SP8000 by Dunlap, P-zero Asymmetrico by Pirelli...
any
others you've had luck with?  Got a long list of things to do to the 
car
this winter...gonna need your help, guys(gender neutral) for a lot 
of
it...thanks as much as ever!

Dan,

Those sizes are definitely too short for your car.  The correct 15" 
sizes for E-30's are 225/50/15 and 205/55/15.  I've got the P-Zero's 
on my '88 325is (225/45/16) and I'm impressed with them so far.  I 
haven't had them long enough to know how long they last.  The 
treadwear rating is 140!  If you decide to go to 16's, Tirerack has 
the P-Zero's on sale in 225/45/16 only (I think they were ~$125each).
