Looking to get some new tires to put on my rsx rims. I want some that have good grip but also good when it's rain. What do you guys recommand???

 

what do you by sticky? a racing tire or a good street tire?

if the latter, yoko es100 or kumho 712.

 

If you're looking for all season performance, go with the Falken ZE-512.

 

he speaks the truth, another to consider.

 

Sorry, very good street tire for performance

 

How much do you care about price?

Price no object - Bridgestone S-03
Price a factor - Kumho MX
Price matters a lot - Yokohama ES100

The Yokohama AVS ES100 has very good dry performance and excellent wet performance. It's relatively inexpensive ($61 for 195/55-15, $75 for 205/50-15). It lasts a very long time; 20-40K miles are typical.

The Kumho MX has excellent dry performance (slightly better than the ES100) and very good wet performance. It's somewhat inexpensive but more expensive than the ES100 ($87 for 205/50-15). I'm not sure how long they last.

If you care a lot about the price, the ES100 is great in "bang for the buck". If you're willing to pay a little more for a little more performance, the Kumho MX is also worth taking a look.

 

Toyo T1-S are amazing!

 

I have good experience with Falken Azenis ST115's. Good dry traction, great tire wear life, low road noise, and good wet weather traction as well. Might be a little limited on sizing if you're looking for stock sizes...but the range of 17+ tires is great!

 

look into the BFG G-force sports. AA traction at a great price. The es100 is also a good choice. I wouldn't recomend the Kumho MX, it's actually alittle more of a dry tire than wet but is still a great tire for the $$

 

I have the es100s, loved them. Just bought another set today. They hold excellently in the rain, i was very surprised. Just don't make the same mistake i did of trying to go through a winter with them. Ha ha, live and learn i guess.

If you have to drive in snow or freezing weather AT ALL, then either get a set winter tires or buy all-season tires. There's no sense in wrecking your (or someone else's) car just to save a buck.

 

Winter tires = Blizzak's

I agree with what you're saying. However, based on his initial post, which didn't mention winter use, I think it was reasonable to assume that either (a) he has a separate set of winter tires, or (b) this is a car that he doesn't drive during the winter.

It's not like we don't know about such things where I live...

 

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 205/55R16

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S is an all-season tire.

All-season tires are compromise tires for people who want to use the same tire on snow in frigid winter weather as they do during the summer. They are not as good for grip on dry and wet roads in moderate temperatures as a "summer" performance tire, but in the winter, they're better than a summer tire (while not as good as a true winter tire).

If you don't care all that much about performance as you do about using one set of tires year round, they're fine, particularly in places that only occasionally get snow and cold. But folks in warmer locations won't benefit from the cold-weather capabilities of all-season tires, and folks in colder locations are more likely to have a separate set of winter tires.

 

what about the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3?

What about it?

Its overall performance is outstanding - one of the very best street tires around, comparable to the Bridgestone S-03. And its price is a bit less than the S-03 (maybe 20 percent less, depending on the size). So, while it's not the cheapest tire around, it offers excellent performance at a very attractive price.

However, the only 15" size it offers is 195/50-15.
