Default Tire Help!

I am looking to buy some new tires for my Integra. I have 16 inch rims and the tires I currently have on are size 205/45/16. I need tires that are good for all season and will last a long time. Is there a better size I should get or brand that will last longer? I was looking here on Discount Tire Direct:

I saw the Yokohama Avid H4's that are a reasonable price but what do you guys think will last longer. I am getting an alignment done when these go on and my drop is extremely mild now with very little camber. Thanks for the help

205/45/16 is fine.

Have you checked out the Yokohama AVS ES100's?

If you don't drag frequently go with a reasobale tire such as Nitto NT 550's, not great to race on but will last u for awhile...

How long is "a long time" and what is cheap?

If my tires last more than a year, I'm pretty happy.

Try the New yokohama Avid H4S it will last a long time. Better treadwear than anything else in that size.

I live in California. The local Les Schwab said $506.55 for Toyo FZ 4's put on the car. How are these in terms of lasting. Take into consideration that the car is going to be at very close to stock height with a new alignment so the camber will be very minimal. Thanks...

I have Avid H4's and have had them for 60k miles or so and am just getting to the end. Good tire for all around use, I use them in the winter now.

Cheers,
Sean

May I make a suggestion:

buy a spare set of stock steelies with good set of touring tires on them......I've bought a set of $120 once. Then you can have the benefit of softer compound tires on your 16"s with higher performance (but shorter life). Then use the stock steel wheels with a harder compound tire (longer lasting) in the off season.
This will save wear and tear on your 16" rims and tires. Then you can wear your 14" steel rims and tires into the ground.
You save money and don't have to compromise performance for sake of longevity.
