Ok i have decided after the last rim fiasco, that i like the enkei rs5 rims. I am gonna go 16x7 with a 205/40/16 tire on my crx. I have these tires available:

Which one is the best in terms of handling/wear/and overall performance.
These are in no particular order:

1.Falken Ziex ZE-502 M+S $73
2.Nitto NT 450 Extreme Performance $73
3.Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 $75
4.Yokohama AVID H4 $80
5.Dunlop Sport W-10 $85
6.BF Goodrich Reinforced Euro T/A $85
7. Yokohama A520 TL $92

 

Get the Kumhos...

I have 'em and I love 'em, cant beat them for the price

 

dude get falkens. i love those tires and they are really good in rain and good in handling.

 

Get Bridgstone potenza's

Screw Falkens, screw Potenza's! :


KUM----HO'SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

Nittos

 

Well the kumho's received many positive responses, so i ordered the kumho's. Hope they do as well for me as everyone else. Should see them friday or saturday.


Thanks everyone

If you got the money, go with the Bridgestone S0-3's....that's the creme de la creme....the piece de la resistance if you will. On that list that you have there, I'd go for the Kumho's. Don't get the Yokohama Avid H4's unless you really need all-season performance tires (which you probably don't b/c most people swap tires according to the seasons). Don't get the Dunlop Sport W-10's...they have good grip, BUT they don't have any tread life at all AND they're loud as hell. So, my vote is for the Kumho's.

 

whatever you do dont get nittos...

hey are you still selling the coilovers that you posted on resource...

 

We just put some kumhos on my girls gsr, i gotta say. They kick ***! very nice for the price.

 

I have the kuhmo ecstas in 205/50/r15's
Love em, got mine for 55 bucks a tire, I think they have been the best cost/performance item I have ever purchased for my car...

 

falkens suck!!! i have them and i hate em. maybe its my car but they dont grip worth shiet.

 

how about some toyo T1S'ss. those are some bad *** tires expensive though.

 

don't get nittos they suck goat *****. my friend had the kumhos and swears by um. my nittos felt like slicks in the rain. absolutly no traction. i drove my friends teg with his kumhos in the rain, they were pheonominal. granted his car has less power and more weight than mine. both tires were same size 205/40-17. i personally don't drive my crx in the rain that often, so it wasn't a big deal. they wore kinda quick too. but i beleive that was more my b16's fault. burning in through first, and lighting them up in second, and chirping third isn't good.

 

I heard the Falken Aeznis (sp?) we good.

 

ive rocked the dunlop sport 8000 and there hella nice i swear corners at 60 with no squealing(ask dohcdx), i have now the nitto nt450s kinda cheasy but they have good wear rating,my eg has falkens and those are nice also.but i would say get the yokohama's avs intermidiate's or the pilot z's...

 

Hmmm well I have the AVID H4's (paid $300 for 16" Sparco Viper Fang clones, my friend threw the tires in brand new for free) and they are OK but kinda twitchy on the freeway, my friend has had Falkens on 3 different Preludes (90 ALB, 99 SH, 91 Si) and SWEARS by them, but I personally have wanted the Kumho's for my car and my fiance's CRX since they were released...

 

I have also heard good about the Falkens...they have a 200 treadwear. The AVS-intermediates has a 160 treadwear! The Khumos have a treadware from 280-360 depending on size and rating.

I burnt through nearly 20k miles on my Nito 450's (215/35/18) And they still had tread when I sold the car. Like stated before they're not the best tire for rain, a LOT better than the Toyo FZ4's though. But in dry conditions they worked really well. I have a few friends with the Kumhos, and they really like them. I'd agree for the price the Kumhos are tops, and they've been getting really good reviews too. Just my 2¢.

Cheers
