Re: What tires? (Boost Pressure)
I like the Yokohama Parada's, they retail for $95 each. But recently I heard about Falkens tires and they seem pretty aight. Check them out at JDMHONDAPARTS.COM, I kinda like them for their cheaper price and big performance.

There are too many things to consider if you want tires.
Rain? Snow? Ride comfort? Noise? Treadware? Warranty? Speed rating?
What do you intend to do with the car?

Re: What tires? (SI-racer)
I got dunlop SP Sports on my Hx rims right now. 185/55 R14
They look tiny, but do seem to grip pretty well.

Re: What tires? (HXMan)
just got my 205/50r15 Falken Azenis, they are so wicked....
from what I have read here, they're terrific performers and wear is not bad, they should last 10k + miles of hard driving

Re: What tires? (owen_the_soyboy)
You need to also consider tread wear ratings.
The lower the number the sticker the tire the better it performs. Lower life tho.
Azinis are a 200 tread wear and are great performers. I have them now and LOVE them on the track.
Nitto and Prada's SUCK Balz!

Re: What tires? (Trey)
Falken makes the Azenis in a 195-60-14. Great dual purpose tire for the street and track. I'd only expect about 10,000 to 15,000 miles out of it, but it only costs like $50 each.

Re: What tires? (Boost Pressure)
I just recently jumped on a deal TireRack is having on the Bridgetone Potenza S-03. I have a good feeling about them. Ive used Kuhmos in the past with good luck and these are rated much better than those. Worst tire ive bought was the Sumotomo HTR Z , ewwww can u say NO GRIP, going into a turn hard these tires wouldnt gradually loose grip, rather they would just totally loose grip.
Kuhmos =
Sumotomos =
S-O3s = .........we will see..... but i think
