My fiance is needing some new tires for the rear. What brands do you guru's recomend? They are the AP1 16's.

Thanks in advance

which size wheels 16 or 17?

 

oops sorry, AP1 16's

 

how much you want to spend, performance etc....

many here have their own option on what they like as do i


i will suggest what i have personally ran on my S unlike how many just repeat what they read...

i have ran
DUNlop FM901
Re050's
Sumitomo htrz II
Federal 595 SS

by far my fav is the Federal 595 SS and im pretty happy with the sumitomo's so i would say the re050's and sumitomos are dead even right now

 

i ran through 2 sets of the BS so2's and then i went to hankooks rsz for the price.....

the hankooks were pretty good, but the side walls are a little soft.....

i run about 10-15 autox a year.....

if price is not a constraint, i would go w/ the bs so2's

 

I'm currently running Yokohama AVS Es 100s on mine. As far as a street tire they are great, I have yet to take the car to a track day, but I have a feeling they won't be as suitable for that as I would like. But on the upside they are cheap. Like 80 bucks per tire.
