Default what tires are you running?

im about to buy some 15in wheels and i need to also get some tires...its so hard to decide. im trying to find something that gives awesome traction in dry and pretty good traction on wet. im looking at the nitto 450's. also, what size are you guys on? is 205/50 15 safe?

stay away from Nitto 450's. crappiest tire ever.


go with some Kuhmo 712's or the Falken Azeni if you are on a budget....or the Kuhmo MX if you want better performance.

they do not suck in the rain. most of the time, ppl relay what they hear bout the azenis in the rain thru other ppl, i know some folks with them and they havent had any problems. my friend daily drives on ao32rs in the rain with no problems. if rain is ur concern i would consider the yokahama es100s.

Kumho Ecsta 712's 205/50/15ZR $59/tire

Awesome dry traction, average wet traction.....but then again, I haven't found too many UHP tires that have above average wet traction. I'm actually going to get either the Falken Azenis or Kumho Victoracers next season.....but then again that's for AutoXing.
