I have Falken Azenis 215/45/16 and am pretty happy with them, great dry traction wet isn't bad but you have to drive ginger through puddles. I have SSR Comps and love the wheels but I wish there was more tire choices.

man, screw azenis - they are played out!

I'm joking btw, notice the similarities between azenis and rotas? People rag on rotas for being played out, so why not knock on azenis? point is a set of rims are a set of rims and a tire is a tire - purely your choice. Compare the pros/cons of the tires you like then make your decision

im love my yokohama parada spec-2s. 205-45/16. Great, dry or wet. They're the best tires i've ever had for the street (granted my last tires were dry rotted firestones that came with my car)
