i need help deciding between these tires. based on reviews on tire rack ive narrowed it down to these. these would see primarily street use, mild drag. these are nice b/c theyre in the 50 per tire price range. i dont want azenis, they dont have them in a 195 50 15 which is what i need.

Pirelli P700Z
Pirelli PZeros
Dunlop SP Sport FM901
Yokohama AVS ES100

does any one have any experiance w/ these tires, pros cons etc

 

i bought the fm901's in 195/50/15 when they first came out...haven't done much track racing, but a good tire...freeway onramp confidence went way up! haha, well, i haven't had much experience with the other tires you mentioned, but the fm's feel WAY better than the stock michelins if that's any help. the only thing is, they wear out fast but hey, they're reasonably grippy

 

Spend about $20 more per tire and get some Potenza S-03's.

There's a reason they come from the factory on NSX's and Top End Porsche's like the Carrera Turbo 4S.

 

Falken is good

ditto that...those tires are REALLY nice.

 

I had the Yoko AVS ES100 for almost a month now and I can say this tires gets two .

 

i was looking at the S-03's but theyre 90 bux

 

any reason that falkens arent on your list? they're so cheap its almost scary. maybe they wont suit your needs though. i thought i'd mention them anyways since they're so popular and you mentioned price.

 

195/50/15 S-03's are $69 a pop from TireRack...

I need tires too, and I was thinking about the Dunlop Sport A2 in 185/60/14.

My priorities are:
1) Dry handling / cornering
2) Wet / snow traction
3) tread life
4) noise/comfort

How do I know what size will fit on my stock wheels? What sizes should I look at? Any 14" tires?

Thanks guys!

I need tires as well. I am going to run 195/50-15 Kuhmo Ecsta 711 had them on my Rotas. ride nice and quiet handle excellant and only $36 at tirerack

 

I've got the AVS ES100 on my car right now... I've had them on for about 3 months. I like them, except on the freeway with the groves it likes to wander a lot... not fun.
