Default Best 16" tire profile ,brand for the money....

What is the best size/profile tire for 16" rims and who makes the best tire for the money.This will be for mostly spirited daily driving and possibly the occasional autocross.

215-45-16 (JDM stock size) the Falken Azenis comes in this size and fits nicely on my Spoon wheels...great for street and auto-x

now the only problem is finding them in stock

Do you have any pics of your car with the Spoon rims and the 215/45/16 tires?

I got em for 89/tire from a wholesale warehouse down here in Miami locally, so I got a kickass deal...but I don't know where else you can get them that has them in STOCK....
http://www.onlinetires.com http://www.vulcantire.com http://www.tires.com are one's that I know carry them...

also, try contacting falken directly to see who carries the AZENIS tire specifically...that's how I found the warehouse by me

Anyone know if a 215/45/16 would run on a 6th gen civic?

Basically, I want to run the Azenis, but I don't want them to rub ***. Are they comparable to Yoko Paradas?

So, I'd be safe with a +42 offset?
