I jus bought some 16X7 rega evos with +35 offset and i was planning on running them on my teg. What size tire do you guys recommend me running? would 215/45/16 look good? ooh and i'm going for the flush look and not the streched look!

ANYONE?

 

On an Integra, the best 16" tire sizes are 205/45-16 and 215/45-16. Either one works. Most tires come in one size or the other, so decide what kind of tire you want, and get it in that size.

Quick recommendations:

1. If you care only about dry traction, and you don't care about short treadlife or so-so traction in rain - like if you track or autocross your car - get the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 215/45-16.

2. If you care about dry traction, but you also want a tire that lasts a lot longer, and/or you want a tire that does well in rain, get the Kumho SPT in 205/45-16.

3. (If you needed to use these tires in snow and frigid cold as well as moderate to warmer temperatures, you would need an all-season tire and I would recommend the Kumho ASX in 205/45-16, but it appears from your avatar that you live in Hawaii, so this isn't necessary for you.)

 

Thanks for the big help nsxtasy!

i'm thinking of going with option 2

 

I second the kumho SPT, amazing summer tire, quiet, and outrageous handling. i had no idea my car could handle that well until i slapped those bastards on there.

 

Kumho SPT looks like the way to go!

What about size? for that FLUSH look!

 

205/45-16. Not for looks, but for fit. (But it should look fine too - not too stretched, not too bulgey. It's approved for rims 6.5-7.5 inches wide, so it should look perfect on 16x7.)

The intention of the rule against opinion topics, as clarified by the examples provided, is to avoid discussions about the appearance of wheels, since opinions about appearance are, by their very nature, subjective.

Opinions about tire sizes, which can be supported by facts (e.g. matching the outer diameter of the size to the stock tire size), are not as subjective.

This forum hosts discussions about the best tire sizes all the time. I think it's one of the most helpful aspects of the forum.

Maybe a slight modification to the rule chart, as to what is acceptable discussion topics might be in order. Either way, it's an informative thread. I just wanted to see your reaction to that note.

It already said that it was about wheels, not tires. I just added wording that it's for opinions about the appearance of wheels.
