:wtf: I've had two sets of Yokohamas and they are great tires. I had 205/45/16 Yokohama A520s and before that 195/55/14 Yokohama AVS-Intermediate. Very sticky tires. Short life. :sad:

Could be, I dunno. Ask Andy, aka BJ Tiesto or whatever. He even uses them in the snow. :thumbup:

I'm using 16" prelude rims that are 205/50/16 right now, will the rim be able to fit 205/55/16 tires? or something 215/55/16?

Check out the Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3



They come in a 205/55/WR16 @ $108 ea
and a 205/45/WR16 @ $116 ea through TIRERACK

I just put a set of 225/45/ZR17 on the RSXtypeS and love them for the performance. I have intitial impressions in the RSX forum.
