There is no single "best"; it all depends on what you're looking for. Some tires (like the Azenis) have great dry traction, but do poorly in rain and don't last very long. Other tires last a long time but shouldn't be used in snow or frigid cold. Still other tires can be used in snow as well as in warmer weather.

Which tires should I get?
This depends on what you're looking to get out of the tire. If you're still not sure what to get after reading the above information , make a new topic and tell us what you intend to use it for. In that topic, make sure to answer the following questions:
- What kind of car you have (year, model, version)
- What size wheels you have
- How the tires will be used (daily driving, autocross/track/dragstrip)
- What kind of weather the tires will be used in (dry, rain, snow)
- What your preferences is in the trade-off between value (low purchase price and/or long treadlife) vs performance</TD></TR></TABLE>

What size tires should I get?
The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using. So if you want to ask what size you should get, let us know what kind of car you have (year, model, body style, version)!
For a CRX, del sol, or pre-'96 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:
13" - 175/70-13
14" - 185/60-14, 195/55-14
15" - 195/50-15
16" - 205/40-16, 195/45-16
For an Integra or '97-00 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:
14" - 185/65-14, 195/60-14
15" - 195/55/15, 205/50-15
16" - 205/45-16, 215/45-16, 195/50-16
17" - 205/40/17
The '96 Civic came with two different tire sizes, depending on version. For DX versions and hatchback versions, the sizes shown above for the pre-'96 Civic are usually best. For all other '96 Civics, the sizes shown above for the '97-00 Civic are usually best.
This is open for discussion and by no means what you have to get, but as a general rule you cannot go wrong with these sizes.</TD></TR></TABLE>
