Trying to choose tires for 16x7" rims. What do you guys thinkl ... here are the choices I'm looking at. I'm looking for something with decent traction for the odd autox days, but also isnt' too noisy with a decent tread life. Let me know what you think...
Also, for a DC2 ... what do you guys prefer ... 205/40/16 or 205/45/16?

Multiple choice enabled, you can choose a tire size as well as a tire brand

 

I had a 205/45/16 and I think that is generally recommended by most people.

 

Yoko ES100 in 205/45-16.

 

I had kumho ecsta 712 - 205/45/16 . . . sooooo much better than stock. The only thing is that they were worn out after 15k. I expected to get a lot more mileage out of them. Now I have Parada Spec 2 same size. I only have about 500 miles on them and just about all of them are in the rain. It rains a lot here. They aren't bad in the rain. The kumho was better. I'm hoping they are going to be a lot stickier than the kumho in the dry.

 

azeneis. shit is cheap as shit.

 

Falken ... I had those once the ziex. I actually liked them because the sidewall was really easy to clean. Tried 712s too, didn't like em because theyve got those little grooves that like to collect dirt. Sure ... its a ricy reason, but I like a clean tire :thumbup:

So far ... looks like the ES100 is winning, thats the tire I was leaning towards anyways. Anyone know if they have those little grooves like the 712s? If they do I just might get another set of Falkens HA

 

I have the Spec-II's in 205/45/16 and I don't have a problem with it. I'd recommend them.

 

My next tires willbe the Yoko ES 100's I have been unimpressed by the Kumho ecsta, have not been any more long lasting and not near the stick of my old Yoko AVSi's

 

my next tires are gonna be falken azenias for my stock 15" but if i got 16", i'd still get them. well i guess it depends how i like them on my stock wheels but i hear they are awesome

 

today i bought a set of mesh rims with kumho 205/50/15's with 4k on the tires, no curbage... i hope these tires are good but hell anything is better than the bald tires i have on now...
