[jdm-civic]

keep your stupid shit in the WL, this thread isnt in the WL because of stupid fucks like you...

i want something with a decent tread life, its not a racecar so something really high performance isnt a big deal. Im thinking of Falken Azenis RT 615...

[oneSLOWex]

Dunno how you plan on driving the car....but I have Nexen N3000's and love them. Not sure how many miles I have on them but I have had them for over 2 years now and driven all over the place and they still have lots of life left. Excellent rain traction and little to no noise on the highway.

Rain traction is another thing thats important. Its a daily driver...

My dad has michelin hydro edge tires on his car and loves the damn things. He said they get REALLY good rain traction

I need to take a pic of the tires that are on the car now, they are bald as fuck, Ive been driving on them for a year or so and when it rains I have to slow to between 45-55 mph...

[Sunkenkarma]

Kumho Ecsta AST KU25, Those things have rediculous grip in any condition, and they arent too pricey.

[bdydrpdmazda]

I wanna spend under $150 per tire...

[Sunkenkarma]

You can get them online for ALOT cheaper than that, Im not sure how much a tire shop would charge you for them though.

I only looked at one place online so far and they were $109 each plus shipping for the Azenis 615...

X2 good tires for the price.

This post makes no sense! lol RT615's are like track day tires, they SUCK for daily driving and SUCK in the rain out of the box. I couldn't get 6 months out of them on my Miata and I ran quite a few sets but also tracked the car regularly. They defiantly don't hold up well though. Best tires I ever used were Toyo Proxes I forget which ones, they had decent grip and lasted over a year with track days, mountain runs every weekend, daily driving out the ass, etc.

[Slomaro Z28]

BFG g-Force SS A/S if they are for the STi

HOLY FUCK CAN PEOPLE NOT READ!!?!?!?

MOVED, to the correct section. Later, QD.

[patrick2876]

on my old nissan i got a set of fuzion tires for three hundred lot cheaper then wat i thought it would be

[patrick2876]

butt they wheree good tires

[allout13]

Goodyear eagle gt's are what I run
its a nice allseason performance tire. soft rubber, but its a 50,000 mile tire

I ran nexen n3000 before and they suck ass in comparison as far as wet or dry traction

[cjhutch]

On my 19's I'm running General Exclaims which are good tires and on my 17's I have Nexen N3000's which are also good. Before I switched to the Nexens I was running Toyo Proxes 4 which are my favorite tires overall. I found them for a pretty good price at the site below.

http://www.tiresdirect.net/TOYO_Proxes_4_225_45ZR17_94W_P1064C168.cfm

I usually order my tires from http://www.performanceplustire.com/ but in your case they are a little more expensive than the place above. I find Performance Plus is often cheaper than most online and local places. In addition they ship for free and only charge you for packaging which usually comes to about $20. I also like Tirerack, but with the tax and shipping charge I just can't justify spending the extra money there.

[skacore]

Yokohama s.drives should be like $125 a tire

[Nerdsrock22]

I've been using General Exclaim UHPs for awhile now and I love them.

[5speed]

Yokohama Advan S4 is what I ran on my Camaro. I bought them used off of a friend and they were awesome. My 92 Camaro is known for sucking in wet weather, but once I put those tires on all the problems went away. Great All Season tire.

[Gorilla Eg!]

I run falken...love em...bfg is my second choice

[TSiFTW]

I'm fond of Nitto and BFG.

[KevinT707]

I say go with BFG (G-Sport etc.) for the price but yeah definitely no RT-615 if you want them for daily driving compatibility, tread wear, rain traction ..

x2. Exact tire and type I thought about when I read the title to this thread. They are an excellent tire and not too costly. To be honest, for the quality you get with them, they should cost more. I love them!

[98strat]

Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2

[SlowEG9]

Ive had falkens on my car for well over a year with no issue and only one rotation and they are still very good..

[bdydrpdmazda]

sounds like Nexen N3000 is the most popular choice so far, I might have to check them out...

Dunlop fm901, Not much more expensive than Nexens... much better tire imo.

[AnthonyF]

Go to tirerack and check out the specs on each tire. I really liked my BFGoodrich KDW-2's Great tread life. I got 70k out of them with burnouts, slides, all sorts of shit.

yeah, pretty sad...well two of them. I destroyed two by slamming into a fucking curb. I didn't even see it.


....keep running boy, I'm gonna come after to you one of these days. lol. 4 banger vs 4 banger? ;)

[StreetHazard]

NITTO NEO-GENS

They like lowered cars and handle well in the rain and you can see that pretty massive rain channel. They have all that extra "meat" on the inside of the tire to compensate for negative camber. I like the tread pattern as well, and certainly not a bad buy as I have found them from anywhere between $90-$130 a tire.

it's almost like they were made for me until I install a camber kit. I love them.

[StreetHazard]

on my old nissan i got a set of fuzion tires for three hundred lot cheaper then wat i thought it would be


I HATE fuzions ...hate...hate...hate, some of the worst tires I have ever owned in my opinion. I had all 4 of them blow out on me in a around a period of over a year, cheap shitty tires, and even shittier quality.

lol... hmmm... I think I might have to pass on that offer, sir. Unless I can strip down 2200 pounds from my car to make it even. lol, I'll respectfully decline your callout with your bike.

Btw, you know where I can get drag radials around the size of 205/50/R16... 16's don't seem to have that many options
