Default need help with tire selection

wassup guys?

The time has come to get some new rubber on my car. I have some falken ziex on there right now 195/45 i believe? lol But anyways, I was thinkin about some azenis 205/50 but on the other hand winter is comming around the corner.

I also don't have another set of winter tires so i'd be screwed in the snow with the azenis. I heard the nitto 450's are a great all year around tire. Can you guys give me some more input on which tires to get.

Oh btw these tires would be wrapped around some 15' rota slips.


thanks, John

if you have to deal with snow, all season tires are your bet.

either way, azenis are good, also consider kumho MX. very good tires with good reviews.

Buy some cheap wheels...get a set of 195 50-15 all season tires you can use during winter. Save up a few more bucks and get some Azenis put on your rotas for summer time.

I run 14 steelies that came with my Si in the winter and switch back to my rota/azenis combination in the summer.

Inexpensive tires and steelies. No reason to risk the Rotas in thw wintertime - unless you don't get snow.
