Default 215/45/16 tires suggestions?

Going with 215/45/16 now.

Have $100 to spend per tires at the most.

Looking for some good sticky tires for daily driving and some spirited daily turns and pulls.

Maybe the falken Azenis? Any other suggestions?

For your ITR, you can use 205/45-16 or 215/45-16.

If you're really concerned about value - given your price limit - you'll be better off getting tires that last you 25-40K miles, rather than the stickiest tires that will only last half as many miles as that. The Yokohama S.drive comes in 205/45-16 and still gives decent performance.

If you want a really sticky tire and you don't mind replacing them every 15K miles (or even less than that in the case of the Falken Azenis RT-615K), then the Kumho Ecsta XS in 215/45-16 is a better value than the Bridgestone RE-11 or Toyo R1R in 205/45-16.

Thanks for the input. I just came across the Kumho Ecsta XS today. I dont mind changing tires at 15k.

I am limited on money because I have some Bridgestone Potenza RE010 in 225/50/16 and they dont fit my car and thats just burning a hole in my pocket. So if anyone wants some, I will let them go for cheap = ).

So got to find new tires now. Will probably go with the Kumho as the cheapest I can find Azenis now is for $525 shipped from vulcantires.com

That was a stock rear tire for the NSX. You might try selling them in the marketplace forums over on NSXprime.com
