I am looking to replace my tires on the stock wheels. I am interested in getting a tire that's comfortable and quiet. I also like to go a little wider. I do have a set of snows mounted on seperate wheels so summer only tires would work also.

Here are my questions.

1. Any recommendation on a brand/Model for a blend of Comfort, quietness and performance (in that order with comfort being the most important)

2. What would be the best size. ( I do like the looks of a wider tire)
205/55/16
215/55/16
225/50/16 or
225/55/16 any risk of rubbing if I went this big?

Thanks.

 

I have 225/55/16's on my stock wheels, they rubbed when I was slammed though

 

im running 225/50/16 now and theyre good and fine, no rubbing that I can tell and the grip a loads better than the stock 205/55s

 

how bad?

 

for me i prefered my 215/50/R16 Kuhmo Ecsta ASX's.

 

Just to clarify..slammed meaning lowered or brake hard?
Also, did you notice any improvement in comfort due to the added sidewall?

 

I'm sure he meant slammed as in being lowered.

 

Stock height tires not good with 3" lowering

 

that car looks fawkin nasty!


Nasty as in CLEAN IT!

 

What Model FALKEN do you have and how do you like it?

 

She's clean, she's been sitting in the garage all winter with a fresh coat of wax, that was fresh after comin out of the shop, besides, new rims, rotors and coat of paint on the way

 

I think they're Azeni 512's
