what kind of tires do you all use? what are your thoughts on them?

 

I believe there's a wheel and tire subforum, try there. If I had the money, I'd get ziex 512's or HTR+s.

 

Yokohama Advan A046s.......I knew a guy with an Evo last winter who put snow tires on his Wheels and didnt want his Advans for the next year

 

I had the Falken ZIEX 512s and they are decent, just the sides wear off way too fast.

 

???

The only reason the 'sides' would wear off too fast is if you had a bad alignment or improper air pressure.

Mine are wearing nice and evenly.

NITTO 555 and i love them

 

Just wait and see, They'll get nice and loud.

 

Bridgestone Potenza RE070's....i like 'em, but i would like something less stiff when it's time for new tires-these things are hard as a rock!

 

I have Toyo Proxes 4 (215/55-16) and I love them. They do well in wet and dry conditions and stick to the road very well.

 

Winter: Yokohama YK420 (215/60/15)
Summer: Just finished up some Kuhmo 712s, going to be using Nexen N3000 this coming summer.

 

Falken ZE-512 here! I recently rolled over 1000 miles...and they are holding up well! and gripping better than ever!

picked them up for only $430 installed...I heard they only last about 25-30k however...which is on the low side for all seasons...but at such a low price...I can go through two sets for the price of Michelin Pilot A/S...

 

Bridgestone Potenza RE750

best all season tires i had.

way better then the Zeix 512

 

Potenza RE750's are all seasons?

 

in cali do you guys really need all seasons? or just something with a decent water repelling tread?

 

naw we get no snow here...so no need for an all season...summer tires all year around will do well

 

Bridgestone Turanza LS-Vs and would highly recommend them. I had 512's on my car for about 6 months and hated them.

 

I have the Falken 512's as well. They seem decent and the tread design is a lot nicer than the stockers.

 

got bf goodrich Traction T/As on my stock 15" GLE wheels. Seem to be doing pretty well. Only driven about 600 miles on them but after a little driving around and getting them scrubbed , the ride is quite comfortable , and I love the grip in rain. Cant comment on snow yet since we havent gotten any in Indiana yet.

I got a free set of Bridgestone Potenza's on my se-r autoX car...not bad for performance if they have 50 psi in them...not good on the street like that though. They are the best all-season performance tire I have driven on. I took 1st place in one event with them against people with slicks...thats probably just cause I was the only nissan in the class though. PLus there great in the rain...dont know about snow or ice

 

I hated these tires....I got about 15,000 miles on them before the sidewalls were bald and I didnt think I was being THAT hard on them...probably was though but there were fairly cheap. They did have excellent traction in the rain and decent in the snow until they got bald

 

Had Goodyear Eagle GP-H 's on my car the first time I bought tires...I though they were the best tires I ever had on my car for street driving. They lasted a long time...around 30,000 miles (long time for me anyway) and I drove my car out ice fishing with them and never got stuck once. Sidewalls didnt go bald on me and they rode pretty nice.
What I would really like is 15 posts, that would be a good tire

 

DONT but wal-mart specials for 39.99

(15th)

 

225/60/r-15's work great

 

Toyo Proxes 4's

 

 

I'd have to disagree with the HTR+, i absolutely hated this tire as even a comparison to the Falken which i didn't mind. HTR's have way to soft of a sidewall to even considering feeling safe around any moderate cornering...

I went back to the Bridgestone RE750's and Love them...won't be using them in the winter though.

 

I just got a set of generals so I will let you know how they are after i get them put on on my car
