Tire? Which one?

I'm looking at Discount tire and it seems there are only 18 set of tires that can fit my stock rims.(I have a 1990 GXL with stock 15x7 rims)

Goodyear Assurance ComforTred
Dunlop SP Sport A2
Yokohama YK420
Yokohama Avid H4S
BF Goodrich Traction T/A HR
Goodyear Eagle GT-HR
Pirelli P3000
Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S
Goodyear Assurance TripleTred
Michelin X-Ice
Michelin Destiny
Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2
Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus

^ Discount Tire rated these the best and I was just wondering out of all of them which would be the top choice? Thanks! I also was going to pick up Falken Azenis ST115 but I'm sticking with the stock rims + I don't think they work with 15x7 rims...or do they?

I have had the Goodyear Eagle GT-HR on my 89 s5 for almost a year now. Very good feel in the wet and not to bad in the snow either.

The stock wheels are 15x6, not 15x7.

Save your money and get REAL tires.
All of those models are cheapie in my book.


BTW, I run Bridgestone S03 Pole Positions.

Falken Azenis RT-215. not only is it a great looking tire, it's one of the best performing tires out there.

If cost is an issue (it is for me) look at Kuhmo 711's

The price is low, grip is fair, 225/50's are a bit wide, but I like the look.

In this picture the fronts are at 30 PSI & the rears are at 27 PSI.

I've had experience with NItto, Hankook, and Dunlop. And I perfer Hankook, plus its inexpensive making it easy to replace if you don't get insurance on your tires.

Some of those are all season, some are winter. You can narrow down the list yourself by deciding in what conditions you will be driving the car.
