Default new tires

I have a 03 civic with neuspeed race springs . Im getting some 16 inch wheels and need to know what tire to get. The wheels are normal offset so no stretched tires or anything.

Default Re: new tires

As far as size: 205/50/16 or 215/50/16

As far as brand: That depends on how much you want to spend; what you plan on doing (daily driver, or weekend track car, etc); what weather conditions you plan on driving in; etc.




Also, I've moved your thread from the Civic forum to Wheel and Tire.

^^ correct. 215/50 or even a 215/45 depending on the roughness of your current suspension set-up. I've always gone with a yokohama avs es100 from tirerack.com, imo its the best bang for the buck tire. thats just my experience though. good luck

+1
205/50 and 215/50 are best sizes, with the 205 being a little lower profile (obviously)

Depending on the wheel width and offset, it could be. A 16x7.5 +38 with 225/50's fit just fine on my car a few years ago, without too much work at all.
