I'm in the market for new tires. Have a set of snow tires for winter, so I'm looking for strictly summer tires.

I'm going to attend the occasional autox. I'm on 15x6.5 Rota Slipstreams, car is a 1997 Civic sedan loiwered on Progress coilovers. Currently my front scrapes with 195/55/15 so I'm going with 195/50/15. Ride quality is not a factor whatsoever.

This is my DD and only car, any recommendations for tires?

Right now I'm about to pull the trigger on Yokohama S.drives, they're $308 shipped for 4 so after mounting/balancing I'll be at $350 total, which is within budget.

Any other suggestions? Do tire prices get cheaper during the holidays? Thanks for any help.

 

For the money, the S.Drive is hard to beat. You'd have to go over $ 120 per tire (Dunlop Star Spec or Bridgestone RE11) for a better tire

 

PROXY RA1's awesome in the rain and they hold up real well!!

 

Thanks doc, ordered 4 last night

 

Just to update, got them mounted the other day. They are much, much better than my Kumho ASX in the rain. Haven't stopped raining since saturday so can't comment on dry grip yet
