kumhos (712s) and falkens (azenis's) are great tires the kumhos are cheaper and have better treadwear, but the falken's grip alot better

does anyone know of a good site to where i can learn about all the dynamics of tires? i know i have 205/40/16's and i know what the 16 stands for, but not the 205 or 40...thanks.

the 40 stands for the profile of the tire or the size of the sidewall. the higher the number, the taller the tire. taller is better for drag racing, smaller is better for autocross. the 205 is the length from sidewall to sidewall or in other wordsm the width of the tire. I have still yet to figure out why it is not simply just the width of the wheel like 7.5 or something along those lines. Anyways, I hope that helped.
