Hey dude - Thanks for the post! I am looking for 16" tires at this point, as I have recently acquired something different - I think my size of choice will be 215/45/16, as I'd like a 40-series tire so I can enjoy 40-series responsiveness!

But I'd like to hear what tires you guys all like, so I can put those recommendations to use for my application.

Thanks again,

AJ,

buy either Falken Azenis (see e9nine's thread or search for mine about being on the track on them) or Hankook RS-2s.

I run 205-50-15s like it was my job. So cheap, a little lower drive ratio, and stiff sidewall. But of course there is also 225-50-15 in the RT-615 Azenis I believe...

both are great cheap auto-x tires, and have heard good things, and experienced as well, on the track with them. so all around good sporting tires

- Sticky as hell. Although I don't have that many miles on them yet, and don't drive the car in the rain, I think they almost have the grip of the Azenis Sports.

Really? That good, huh? Hrmm - very interesting - definitely a tire to look at then!

Thanks!
