The best...

Which tires are best for 205/55/16 or 225/50/16.

Went out today to have some one with fellow rexes this afternoon.. and now i have no rear tires to speak of... so ican't put this off anymore...

i wanted sp8000 oringally... there are a,lot of mixed feelings... from people who have had them...

i don't want to spend anymore then 430 USD or 700 Canadian for a set.

Here are the choices now.

-Falken Fk451, or Azenis Sport
-AVS Intermediates (Trying to find a new set in Toronto)
-Bridgestone Re71 (if i can still find a set) or Bridgestone Re730 GenII
-Kumho 712 Esctra Z rated.

There are always 3 things and u can only have 2 of them... (price, max performance, tire life)

and i choose lowest price and max performance.

Falken Azenis rock! I think these will satisfy your needs of low price and max performance. They stick like glue, are great in the rain, and are cheap to boot!

Kumho tires are usually resonably priced... And they grip really well...

Wozzoom,

which Azenis does everyone keep talking about? the st115? or the sport model?

because the st115 has very very limited sizes... they don't have 225/50/16 nor 205/55/16 which are the ones that will fit a TII rim. 16x7

The Sport Model is the one for the stock rims.

The ST115's would be an option only if you had 17" aftermarket rims.
