good tires

[racinG20t]

i just bought some 16 x 7 and 16 x 7.5 ssr's.... what are some good tires???i want something that grip good but don't care to slip when asked

[papershot]

ST115s, ES100s.

[racinG20t]

i was thinking 205/50 in front and 225/45 in the back...would that look and fit good?

[wootwoot]

i'd say 215 55 rear and 205 50 front. remember you have the 16's so you want try and fill it up a bit. try out the yokohama evs 100's though, they are a good all around tire

i was planning on the es100's they are cheap and have good performance. do you have any pics of a 215 55 that seems like a lot of sidewall

[wootwoot]

ummmmm, no i dont. sorry. but i can make an easy ass recommendation, go to tirekingdom or somewhere like that and ask them to show you that size. its a little bit of sidewall but not much

[racinG20t]

these are the sizes available in the es100's
205/45ZR16 87W
205/50ZR16 87W 205/55ZR16 90W
225/50ZR16 92W 225/55ZR16 95W
245/45ZR16 94W P245/50ZR16 96W

[fastbacchris]

use search for other opinions

[wootwoot]

205 45 and 225 50

i knew i should have actually looked at whats available before i shot all that out of my mouth. sorry there bud

and i dont understand why some people comment on threads in such a way that is completly irrelvant to everything going on. or maybe im just salty about the high salt content of zilvia. time for a diet!

Actually for the same as stock size tire diameter you're going to need a 205/55R16 for the front. 225/50 rear is cool.

If you want max grip street tires I'd go Kumho MX or Azenis Sports. ES100s are ok for normal driving and drifting.

[D1drifter]

TOYO T1S 205/55ZR16-Front 225/50ZR16-Rear

I use the ES100's in 205/50/wr16 all around...good shiznit in my opinion...

[s13dan]

i have Falken zeix and they are a lot stickier than khumos but not reall sticky and not bad in the rain either..

which kumhos? The MX's should be much better than the ziex....maybe the ziex are better than the ecsta 711 and 712, but i doubt they are better than the mx.

I was going to wait till it snowed to decide on a verdict for these tires... but here are my thoughts so far:

My Falken Ziex in the 205/60/15 stock size are absolutely the worst tire I have driven on. If you ever turn your car, turn away from these tires. Even at over 40psi the sidewalls roll over on minor street maneuvers, and the shoulders are starting to scallop. Grippy? yes, good wet performance? yes, dirt cheap? hell yes..... good performance tire? NO!

[wootwoot]

are there any tires that will will handle well that are a 205/60??

[MakotoS13]

lemme get this straight. you want tires that grip good but you don't want them to grip good enough to keep you attached to the road through a turn cause JDMDORIFTARIFFIC is the shiznit?'


p.s. 225's up front and 235's out back :)

no so much because JDMDORIFTARIFFIC is the shiznit, but i just want to be able to goof off :naughtyd:

All of the tires that the guys have listed are great, but if you want something cheap that are STICKY..... get the Firestone Fuzions. Firestone just put them out. My friend has them on his 40 and even when he rides over LITTLE patches of sand you can hear the sand beating the shit out of the fender wells..... Sticky as hell and that are cheap.

[vsp3c]

^^ sounds good.. will check it out soon :)

falken azenis
yokohama es100
bridgeston s02 or s03 :D:D:D

[old_s13]

Bridgestone RE750

or

if you have the money and the power to turn and burn them, S03.

[RedlineRacer]

will a 225/50/16 fit on the front?

[240silvia]

Might bubble a bit in the front..... but if you can get a good deal on that tire... get them, can always re-sell them.

[RedlineRacer]

anyone tried the new Fuzion ZRi's? I have my eye on a set. I've heard nothing but great things about them, and the price is great!
