Default 16" Tires

Hey everyone.. Just wondering what are some good tires to buy in sizes 205/40/16 or 205/45/16. I'm thinkin Yokohama Parada Spec-2s as of now... Fill me in with any knowledge or suggestions. Thanks!

I would go with 205/45/16's. I had 205/40/16's before and the tire was too thin - gave a harsh ride and there wasn't much protection for the rims.

:werd: I had a set of Falken Ziex 502's in 205/40/16 and the ride was kinda harsh and they bent my wheels. When those wore down, I went with a set of Yok Parada Spec II's in 205/45/16's and I love them. Had to raise the car a bit, but no biggie there...

How are the AVS ES100's holding up for ya Tirod? I'm thinking of a set sometime in the future (for a daily driver tire) and was wondering if they're wearing out rather quickly...
