Default Tires...

I've been shopping around for new tires for me CRX. It's gonna be riding on 15x7 rims, and 205/50/15 tires, but I'm not sure on what tires to mount on it. Daily Driven on lots of highways and city, but I'm in a state were it rains, so it needs to have really good wet traction and resist hydroplaning.

I've been recommended the Nitto NeoGens and the Yokohama S.Drives. It's about a $25 difference in price with the S.Drives being more expensive. Which should I go with, or is there another tire that is better for my needs, while keeping each tire's cost under $100.

Thanks.

I ran the Nitto NeoGens on my lowered BMW for a year, and absolutely loved those tires! I can definitely say they handled better than any other tire I've driven on the street on dry pavement. They have very stiff sidewalls, which aids in the handling department, but increases the percieved "harshness" of the road. They are also absolutely great for lowered cars with camber issues. HOWEVER, even though they are considered "all-season" tires, they were some of the worst tires I had ever driven on in the snow (and that was on an AWD car, too!). Rain performance was mediocre.
As for the Yok's, I'm not sure - never driven on them, but I've always had good luck with that brand.
Right now, I have a Turbo'd CRX and I just bought the new B.F. Goodrich G-Force Sports, and I absolutely love them!! They aren't quite as stiff as the NeoGens, but handling is still pretty damn good. They also seem to grip really well in the rain, but I haven't had them in the snow yet, so that I have yet to determine!
Hope this helps!

Darren
