Original equipment Bridgestone Eager 205/60/15. I pay roughly $48 each plus installation. But now I have 16x7 rims and I plan on using Sumitomo's because they are cheap and every set I've owned had awesome grip.

Falken Azenis ST115 215/45/17 front, 245/40/17 rear, paid $279 for a set, special deal.

Toyo Proxes RA-1 235/40/17 front for track days. Came with a set of rims I bought.

On my '89 TII since new:
Goodyear-Original-unusual wear pattern
Bridgestone-Too hard
Dunlop-Too hard
Michelin-Great all around, but not a very aggresive tread
Nitto-Too much tire noise
Falken-Great for the money. Thought traction limited
Presently Toyo Proxes-Best yet. Think price was about $600 for everything. Local tire shop.

I have Yokohama AVS ES-100s all the way around, 225/50-R16.

Done some auto-xing with them as well as daily driving, and they do very well at both.

goodyear eagle gt hr's(215/60/15), paid 280 shipped from tirerack.com installed and balanced myself. these tires suck, the sidewalls are way too flimsy. wouldnt recommend them to anyone. only advantage is that they are decent in the snow.

lol u r gonna laugh at this one i have the factory phone dile rims... enough said HAHA i hate those rims.....

Falken Ziex 512 $48 each. Good tire, great grip when new, but they wear very quickly. I was looking for an all season high performance tire. I want something with good grip in dry weather, but wont put my car in a ditch if it rains. Falken Azenis were good, but they definately dont keep traction at all when its raining.

Toyo Proxes T1S 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. Super grippy tires with a very aggressive tread pattern.

SureShot 06-28-04 03:25 PM

My cheap tires Kuhmo 711's 225x50-16.
<$300 out the door.
Dry traction - good.
Wet traction - better.
Tread wear - fair (which is good for my driving)

Where did you buy the Azenis from? A tire place or a hookup of sorts?

Kuhmo 712's. They're decent.

RXSevenSymphonies 06-28-04 04:14 PM

I have tires that look like rubber, but they are actually made out of poop. When I get new rims I'll be getting Falken Azenis or Kumho MX's

razorback 06-28-04 04:29 PM

yokohama avs db decible s2 can be had for 103 a piece at tire rack. great gripping even decent grip in light snow (stated by company) tires look good and size is 225/50 r16 i believe. (not sure about the 50 have to check) work great and those are on all 4 corners.

Jodoolin 06-28-04 05:02 PM

Razor, I have the same Yoko's. $75.00 each at Discount Tire.

cbrinega 06-28-04 05:42 PM

BF Goodrich 215/50-16 (Y Speed Rated) g-Force KDW

They are a great set of tires for dry and wet. I'm sure they suck on the snow. I got them from The Tire Rack for about $120 each (Ultra High Performance Summer Tire).

I have Front and Rear Falken 512 Ziex H for less than 2 bilss Awesome deal

ddub 06-28-04 07:41 PM

I'm running Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's, 225/50ZR16 all around.

Don't remember cost, got them from discount tires mounted on rims I bought from bigwheels.net (there are pictures there in the gallery of some shots of the rims and tires).

Impressions, these tires are so awesome. They grip like no other, I love em.

Which potenzas are you talking about? I know some people who swear by the s03s.
