UpstateCivic

Just wondering what everyone's doing for tires and such. I've got 15" rota c-8's w/195/45/15's on the back but I'm not sure which direction to go for the front. Azenis? Drag radials? What do you guys think?

Daily driving tires your looking into getting?

Well what do you plan on driving. Just a DD (Daily driver) or mostly a Drag car or a Autocrosser? Or all the above.
Now if you want to do all the above i would recommend the Falkin Azins(or how ever spelled) They will offer great traction. But will wear out quick and you MUST put on snow tires for the winter.
Do you "race" everywhere? I imanage so if you droped a H22 in a Civic.
Do you have a LSD? You can get away with cheaper tires if you have a LSD. there are so many differnt tires. We need more info.

I run Falken Ziex 205/40/16 and was able to pull a 2.1 60' w/o LSD.

i run a used pirelli p7000 on the front left rim, a general xp2000 on the front right steely, and a pair of no name tires on the back. they are all 195/50/15s. they spin easily though they have a performance tread pattern on them.

I ran both the Azenis tires and Nitto 555R radials (radials wore out first) but both hook up well on the street. With regular H-rated Goodyear tires, I'd spin them like crazy through 2nd & 3rd gears where with the radials or Azenis tires, it's spin a little bit and grab. In rain, the 555R tires are better but both are great on the dry pavement. Both tires are 205 series, but the Azenis are a little bit wider with a stiffer sideway so corning feels better with them, but from "stop light to stop light" driving, both feel about the same IMO.

I am running the Azenis right now and they are pretty sweet. I also like the parada's. But I would have to say nothing beats the good ol' M.T.'s, to bad I can't keep them on all the time!

Got Kumho's. Good DD tires.

Now that's some skill

Very nice 60 foot's for the tires you're on.

So basically tires that are good for any other car would be suffiencient enough for an H22 civic.

Well yea. The car is not any "different" but if you want to talk the size of the tire that is a whole different game. We are gonna tell you to go wider!

Totally agree with you, brand of tire is one thing but the size is a whole different ballgame.

I agree

wider tires=more traction because more of the tire has contact with the ground.

Im about to get some 205/45/16, now if that is the correct size to get for an ej6 with an h22 i dont know. But it seems from what I read it should do.

NorthernXposure

i run 205/50/15 bfg gforce drags up front and 195/55/15 potenza re010 in the rear.. i like my set up and they fawking hook off the line on the street.. but its a good way to go through a pair of tires in a summer if you go the drag radial route

Project SSAP1

how do the azenis hold up in heavy rain..they seem like a nice tire for fairly decent price..but here in NJ rain in the summer can b heavy..and i dont wanna crash..so whats the word??

heh heard part of your story....live in same city and too lazy to go pick it up

Im using Firestone FR360's, 175/65/14 on my steelies. Dont laugh, they actually hook pretty good on the street. Another cheap tire that worked well was a Goodyear Integrity 185/65, I like experimenting with cheap tires from our tire bin at work.
