Hi guys, I can get a deal with one of the below brands but I need to know which tires you guys recommend in 225/45/16 with the below brands. I'm not sure if they all carry this size either.

Bridgestone
Dunlop
Hankook
Continental
Michelin
Pirelli
Yokohama

Previously I was looking at Kumho Ecsta Spt, Falken 452s.

BFG or Hancooks

I say Hancooks because they're cheaper, but still amazing tire.

+1 on the Hancocks, I've had the RS2 something or other as my daily when i had my e36 and it was great bang for the buck!

[MikesJo]

Which one from Hankook? RS3 or RS2? Do they come in that size? Which BFG one? The car is only driven in the summer.

Search Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct to see what's available in that size, decide what you want out of the tire, then come back.

[dr.strangelove]

not sure of what kind of deal you get but, i'd also check on ebay, i found a set of bfg kdw in this size for 50% off.

Toyo t1r or r1r.

[drifty340i]

toyo t1r or r1r.

+1

[Wh33lhop]

205/50R16 Direzza Z1 Star Specs. They're about a hundred bucks apiece.

The T1R is a great tire (very light, too) but the sidewalls are pretty soft and it is becoming outdated, as well as $35ish per tire more than the Direzzas.

Do not get the DZ101.

[e30rida]

Why not the DZ101? I was looking into getting these.

[e30_325es]

DZ101 is cheap junk. And I sell dunlop tires. Direzza star spec is much better.
