    Default New Tires to put on some Volk wheels

    What is the best tire to put on for some Volk wheels?

    Many people stated Toyo Proxes are the best but are bit pricey.

    Some say go with Nitto but arent good on wet roads.

    Some say go with Yokohama but are great overall tires either.

    Which one guys??? I'm stuck.

    I want a tire that is both good on dry and wet roads. Used mostly for daily driving. Price isnt a huge issue, as long as I dont have to pay too much for the tires.

    Any help would be great.

    The last set of tires that I bought were the Fuzion ZRi, and for about like $83 per tire off of tire rack and still be good proformance...

    Kumho tires are good to, I think I might try those out next time cas they are in the same price range as the tire mentioned above...

    All I have say is I hate Falken Ziex 512 for my Civic 195/50/15

    Fusion Zri 195/50/15
    Kumho 712 205/50/15

    Kumho 711 205/40/16
    Nittio 450 205/40/16

    Hey Speedminded? What is better in your opinion 195/50/15 or 205/50/15 for autocrossing.....

    You guys all need to buy some decent tires, wait, this is actually a question I'm not even trying to be a dick

    Do any of you actually go to the track, when I say track I mean road course

    I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to come off like a dick.

    If you want a tire for dry and wet get bfg kdw2 also why does it matter what kind of rim a tire goes on?

    Everyone is telling me to go with Nitto tires...

    Falken is okay. Michelin to expensive. Toyo is good but pricey as well...
