1998 Acura Integra GSR Sedan w/ ITR 5lugs 5x114 / jdm ITR wheels 16x7?
add-on lips all around.
front and rear camber kits, front lowered slightly above the fender
rear is lowered about 1" gap

i live in jersey, so the weather will be of all kind, but i am not taking it out on
snowy, icy days. strictly dry weather / maybe rain

my budget per tire is $70 - $100

currently running a turbo set up and im not planning to burn rubbers on
1st gear (i find it stupid and waste of rubbers)
only on rolls and high speed

i would love to have the threadlife + comfort + traction on clear weather + rain

i have read the FAQs post,
you stated the recommended size would be 205 / 45 / 16
i was wonder if i could go 205 / 50 / 16
or even 205 / 55 / 16 to give the ride a little height (i planned to go with these tires but someone told me this is rub all around and is not safe)

Mr.TireGuru,
16x7 - 5x114
my budget per tire is $70 - $100
tire size 205 / ((45 - 55)) / 16
threadlife + comfort + traction

i did not mean to tell a whole novel, was just being thorough as possible.

Then summer tires ought to be okay. Remember, though, they won't grip very well when it's very cold out, even if the roads are dry.

You can't get everything - low price, grip on dry pavement, grip in rain, treadlife - in one tire. If you're willing to give up low price, then get the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 in 205/45-16 ($123.50/tire after rebate at the Tire Rack - $50 rebate ends December 1). If you're willing to give up a bit of grip on dry pavement, then get the Kumho SPT in 205/45-16 ($82). If you're willing to give up grip in rain and treadlife, then get the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 215/45-16 ($90 at Vulcan). Keep in mind that the RT-615 is only going to last you maybe 10-12K miles, vs 25-40K for the other two tires, so you will need to buy the RT-615 two to three times as often.

Personally, I think your best bet is to spend the extra money for the F1 GS-D3. Since you've already gone to a lot of time and trouble and work and money on building a turbo on your car, it doesn't make sense to try to save a few bucks on tires that don't do as well at handling the added performance of the turbo. But it's your money, your choice; those are the trade-offs.

No. Those sizes will hurt your acceleration, throw off your speedometer/odometer, and yes, they may rub. If you don't want your car to be as low as it is, then the proper thing to do is to remove the lowering springs (or other suspension components) and replace them with stock springs (or with aftermarket springs that don't lower it as much or retain the stock ride height). Not to use the wrong size tires.

 

all along i was researching for better / best performance / rating tires for ALL - SEASON

best i saw is Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position (Ultra High Performance All-Season) at tirerack.com for $116 each

now i guess that you made some point cleared (about tire budget when im turbo'd out)

my cousin recommended me to get some
Yokohama S.drive (Ultra High Performance Summer) only... $95 per
but he live in texas.

regardless, i would love to have THREADLIFE!! + traction dry / wet / cornering at high speed
(not planning to spin out)

enlighten me please!!.

edit - hehe still got a budget........... $120 max per now

Remember, all-season tires are designed for use in snow and extreme cold as well as in moderate to warm temperatures. In exchange for that added flexibility, they don't perform as well in each set of conditions as the tires (winter tires and summer tires) specifically designed for those conditions. Since you said you won't take the car out in snow (and presumably extreme cold), you can get better performance with summer tires than all-seasons.

If you DO decide on all-seasons, I recommend the Kumho ASX. But I think you're better off with summer tires.

They're new, and they're not Yokohama's top of the line. I haven't driven them yet, but I doubt that they're as good as the Goodyear (which IS their top of the line).

The Goodyear F1 GS-D3 will give you all of that.
