I need a set of tires for 16" Rota Circuit 8's. I'm not going to be doing any road racing or anything of that such, so I just need some decent tires, preferably low profile. Azenis seem to be pretty cheap, but I've heard the tread life sucks? Got any suggestions? I'm not looking to buy the most expensive tires either.

 

dunlops

cheap and good treadlife

 

Whatever you can find in 215/40, which is limited. Remember wider is better. I like my Nitto NT-450s, they are reasonably priced.

 

falkens arent THAT bad on tread-wear. sticky as f- too

 

yokohama evs 100s, good tires, reasonable price

 

Whatever you decide, 205/45/16 is the size I recommend.

 

205/45-16 is what i would use too. pirelli p7000 supersport are good all-season tires...and not too much $$

 

I have the exact rims.. 205/45/16 Yokohama EVS ES 100's.. pretty good tires

 

how long have they lasted you so far?

 

Well I put them on first week in June.. it's been about 5,000 miles. I havent had them rotated yet, but I see no wear yet, and I bought the car with a shitty 1.5" or so drop, which appears to be only lowering springs. No camber wear though.. They are much better than the "stock" like $35 specials I had before. They catch quick even when i rev up to about 4,000 or so, and I can't even chirp 2nd anymore(possibly clutch related), but I could before easily.

that's what i have on my 16" Circuit 10s

 

Azenis aren't made in the correct 16" size for Civics. Just so you know.

 

Discount tire quoted $435 (tax included) mounted/balanced for the Yoko ES100s in 205/45 16. Is that a good deal?

 

205/45 nitto neogens =o) dunno bout tread life yet, just put em on, but grip well.

 

i have 205/45/16 falken ziex 512 on my slips and they are decent street/everyday tires... they just don't seem to last very long.

i want to try these tires next... everyone seems to like them.

I bought the AVS ES100s based on the opinions of this thread (I have 15s)

The falken Azenis are know to have poor (dangerous?) wet traction characteristics. Since you are not looking for a performance tire, you should have a good range of conditions that the tire is functional in.
My tactic on tires is to go to tirerack.com, pick out your tires. find an authorized isntaller, and then attempt to buy the tires DIRECT from the installer at the tirerack.com price (the dealer makes more money that way, than if he was paid the 20 bucks just to install the tires.)

Although, that doesn't sound like a bad price for 4 16s.
