Ok, looking for a good all around tire. Good grip on dry and wet surfaces, and a tire that has good tread that doesn't wear out quick. Anyone got any suggestions, and maybe some good prices let me know.
need to order tires soon
gotta get my wheels on, here is a pic of them

And they will be going on this car

I've got 31K miles on my 205-45-16 Sumitomo HTRZ-II's so far. Need replacing soon. This is with -1.5 camber in the front. These were mostly highway miles over the previous year though.

 

I live in So Cali so all we get is dry and rain.. no snow... I'm pretty happy w/ my Dunlop SP Sport 9000's.. I would love to try the Bridgestone Potenza S-03 pole positions as my friends have them on other cars and love them.. but they aren't made in my size (205/45/16)... so I'm on my second set of Dunlops.. they last around 20K and grip well IMO.. their around $100/ea on tire rack..

you might also look into

Yokohama ES100
Yokohama Parada Spec II
Kumho Ecsta Supra 712
Summitomo HTZR II

falken azenis and Bridgestone Potenza S-03 pole positions aren't made in 205/45/16

 

yeah, i have been checking out the yokohama's. they have good reviews and don't cost that much.
anyone else have any suggestions??

 

Just my .02 but I now hate the kumho's after driving around on some yokohama es100's.

 

I think i may go for the Yokohama's since I have heard alot of good things about them. As for the Azenis, well since i live in alaska, i need something that will have good wet traction too, and that tire is to much of a track tire. hydroplainin' sucks

 

what wheels are those?

 

They are made by Advanti. Look like the volks ce28's, that why i got them.

 

sweet...yeah, the centercaps threw me off...at first i thought they were konigs, but they don't make the konigs in 16's....how much do they run and where'd you pick that set up???

its gonna look sweet on your car

 

I have Yoko Avid H4's in 205/45/16 on my wife's EF with some Enkei 16's and they are great. I have yet to drive them in snow, but in wet weather I've had no traction issues even though her car is super light.

I paid $565 shipped for the from Canada to Seattle. I had them barged up to save the guy the hassle, but yeah they are nice looking wheels. Hope they hold up to the roads up here, had konigs before and bent 2 of the wheels on little as bumps.
