Which tires to put on bottlecaps?

[livetheride]

I'm looking for an 3-season tire option that has decent grip and good treadlife, that wont leave my wallet empty.

Right now these are what i'm looking at:
1) Falken ZE512 $60
-205/60R14
2) Falken ZE912 $68
-195/60R14
3) Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS $71
-195/60R14
4) BFGoodrich g-force super sport $76 (plus $60 rebate)
-195/60R14


p.s. Sears has Falken AZENIS RT-615 - 195/60R14 for $77.96

Isn't stock tire size 195/65? Just looking for less sidewall?

falken 512.

getting those for my next tire

[livetheride]

yeah, 195/65 is stock, but there isnt as much selection and a lil less sidewall would be nice.

I'm def think im gunna get 512's. I just dont wanna be disappointed or buy new tires in 2 years

512's bro

Yeah bro, the 512's bro, they're good tires, bro.

RT615s or G-force Sports. 14s are not expensive, buy the better ones of the bunch.

[livetheride]

I was just given a price of $75ea mounted and balanced for falken ze912's. should I jump on those or get the 512's for about the same price?

Booklet that comes with ETA says 195-60-14 as the stock size. Much easier to find compared to 195-65-14. Mk3 Jettas take 195/60/14s.

84/85 is 195/60

[Dirtbleed]

If you must go with all-seasons, I'd get RE960s. If you can just do a summer tire, RT615s bro.
