-thanks
Josh

 

If the car is lowered, don't get 235/45... I did that and lets just say my gaurd is struggling for paint :P good luck!

 

Check out www.thetirerack.com and do your own research, there is LOTS of good info on that site.

 

Thats were I bought my rims and tires. Great site!

 

What are the rim widths?

 

Some 17 inch black tyres should do nicely!

seriously though, i have yokohama ES100's, they are very good - grip is pretty stunning to be honest, although not great in the wet. Not deadly, but its the only time i get understeer with them. But you shouldnt be driving your FD in the rain.

 

Bob, you can do a LOT better than the ES100s.....if you think the grip is stunning now, run some BFG KDs or Azenis RT-615.

 

the rims are 17' 235/45 thanks for all the ideas i need tires that can handle well in rain adn dry i live on the coast (rain is a every week thing)

 

17 by what? What's the width? 17x8, 17x9?

 

sorry 17x8

 

people seem to love BFG KDW's (for wet/dry)

 

You can run 245/40's all around. I would suggest the Continental ContiSportContact 2. It has similar peformance to the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 with a cheaper price.

^ I ran a set of those on the FD once and liked them.
