I'm getting a set of 16" Rota Circuit 8's. What size tires do you guys recommend? I was thinking of getting Falken Azenis because their good cheap tires. What size or tires would you guys recommend for just daily driving?

 

205/45/16

 

azenis wont last long for daily driving

 

Yea I just looked and they don't even have Azenis in 205/45/16. I think i'm going to end up going with Yokohama ES100's. Good price and from what i've heard, pretty decent all season tires.

 

if you want all season then dont get azenis. they are terrible in the snow. i have azenis on my rims and snow tires on my hx rims.

I didn't even think that needed to be said

but as far as tires, Azenis only come in 215/45/16's I believe is the size. And yes they will work for you. You might get a little rubbage if your car is too low or in hard cornering. These are the tires I was going to get for my ek with K1 16's but now I'm doing 5 lug and have the choice of 15's or 16's so only the future will tell whats on my car next spring

 

I have the exact same wheels. I run Kumho Supra Ecsta 712's @ 205/45/16

 

i have yoko es100's from tirerack.com and cost me 78 bucks a tire
so far so good

 

I have 205/40/16,s on both my cars with no rub...also, check this out: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

dunlop fm901's

 

205/40/16 Kuhmo Ecsta

 

205/40/16 Kuhmo Ecsta at http://www.whalentire.com $59 a pop and well worth it

 

yoko parada spec 2's

 

for this time of year i'd either go with the Kumho 712s, Toyo T1s or Yoko es100s 205/45/16

i wouldnt go with anything below 45. i had 205-40-16 and one of my wheels cracked

 

225-215-45-16 front 195-50-16 or 205-45-16 rears.

 

These DUNLOP FM 901's are one of the best tires i've had.....next to the dunlop sp sports. These tires hook up WAYYYYYYYYYY BETTER than the shitty kumho's i have right now, and/or the nitto's i had in the past! I highly recommend these tires....ride quality is good, quiet, tire wear is good...might wear a little fast on the insides of your tire if your car is slammed w/o a camber kit. Also, these tires takes corners AWESOME!!!!! they dont squeel like a pig either if you decide to get on the throttle. I think the rubber on this tire is a softer compound, so it will probably wear out a little quicker than kumho's and other brands....but its well worth it IMO!

 

Aight I got it narrowed down to the 205/45/16 for size. I'm either going with Yoko AVS ES100's, Parada Spec 2, or the Dunlop FM901's. Their all about $80/tire on tirerack.com. I'm looking for good tread life and good all season performance. Don't really need the stickiest tire for racing as I drive a freakin Del Sol S! lol

 

es100

 

not to thread jack or anything, but should i just find some winter wheels and tires instead of trying to get a good all season tire? Snow does come here, so i would need all season, i still have stock tires 00si

 

Honestly guys Azenis aren't all that bad in the snow or rain. When it snowed i had to go down a road that was about a mile or so of fresh powder. If you don't drive like an idiot, the tires are fine. But i did have a good time sliding around on the road
