I just want a good street tire, in conjuction with begining AutoX. I want something that sticks. I am going to buy some 94/95 ex 7 spoke alloys for my 96ex. I have those 195 bike tires now but I don't know how wide I can go. I hear the Yokohama ES100 is a good tire. But whats everone's opinion on a good size and brand for the factory 15" Thanks

 

search.....but for 40 a tire the kuhmo 711's are good

ECSTA 712

 

So a good size would be 205/40/15?

 

if you are going to autocross regularly, i would consider a track set and street set. falkens are great autocross tires

 

So I hear, Thanks

 

Get a set of Kumhos. 711s, or 712s should be sufficient.

 

anyone know how good those falken aziens or whatever theyre called are?

 

falken azenis....they are actually very heavily preferred for autocrossing

 

Yeah, I guy down the steet from me is big into autocross, and I believe is now sponsered by Falken. Check him out:

did a search on TireRack & Discount Tire for ya on two optional sizes that'd fit on ur 15x7...all results off TireRack...Discount didn't have crap worth mentioning. I put # next to tire by what I'd rate them.

<U>205/55 R15: (wider than stock) </U>

1) Bridgestone Potenza RE750 $91

2) Yokohama AVS ES 100 $77 &lt; best bang for buck...if u can't get Potenzas

<U>215/55 R15: (widest you can get most likely on 7" wide rim)</U>

3) Kumho Ecsta 711 $51

 

BTW...those are properly sized options...

 

Thanks, I have my eyes on the Yokohamas.

 

I am in the same process of choosing tires for my new wheels which are 16x7 but i am either going with azenis or i may try the new Nitto tires. I have NT555's right now and i like them really well, but i have some time to decide while i wait for the wheels.

 

From my experience nitto's don't last too long even on the streets and 712's have a good traction/durabilty ratio. 711's lasts the longest but maybe not enough for autox. Damn cheap though.

 

i have 215/45/17 Nitto NT 450s right now. have had them on my enkeis for year and a half, with them resting in the winters. they held up exceptionally well for autocross last year, only did a few though. they have minimal wear and so far no complaints

 

I plan on getting some kuhmo escta 712's for my summer tire

I am a fat guy who drives a 90 accord LX and I have both mirrors

But back on topic, the reviews at http://www.tirerack.com are fairly accurate and they have really good prices
