Thread: Yes, another tire thread.

    Default Yes, another tire thread.

    I'm just about ready to pick up some tires in a 15" flavour. I'm not too picky between 195 vs 205 at this point, but I'd love to read some suggestions. I've read recent threads about various Hankook, Kumho and Falken tires, and pricewise, the Hankooks are looking pretty good through the local DT connection.

    Whatever I get, they'll see primarily street use with some minor sideways excursions when leaving work (the in the Real Estate department hate that!). I'll keep the semi-hollows and Azenis for any track time I might try this year.

    Any thoughts, suggestions or hot deals? Bring 'em on!

    If he goes from 14" to 15" he will also need some bling bling wheels.

    I love my Hankooks and I've had multiple sets of the Azenis. I like the Hankooks better for everyday use much better in the rain. YMMV

    I just got the Kumho MX in 205/50/15 and I like the grip. Have done well in the rain, also. With the top up the tread is noisy but at $80 a tire for the level of grip you get I can live with it. Besides, the top is down most of the time anyway!
