Question about tires for aspec rims
I have aspecs, and need tires for them. I have found Goodyear Eagle f1 all seasons and yokohama sdrives summer tires.
What are some of the benefits of getting each?
Can i use the all season with aspecs in the winter?
Obviously i cant use the yokos in the winter.
Does one look better than the other?

Full of water...
right now i have pirelli p-zero nero m&s on my aspecs and i run them year round, but i think i will probably go for a winter tire/rim change when the warm months are over. they are not bad when it is snowing, but if it gets too deep i find my self sliding towards a curb instead of moving forward. it may be the tires, i hear the goodyears are better in the winter, but i dont want to have to miss any work like this season because i cant get through the deeper snow. btw, i live in michigan and this year we had record snow falls.
for the most part you should be ok with all seasons, but for me i am going to go with a winter/all season mix.
in general though, i have been very happy with my tires, and i have 32k miles on them and they are still going strong.

If you live anywhere that gets signifigant snowfall with freezing temps, I would highly recommend going with dedicated snow tires (i.e Michelin X-Ice, Continental ContiWinters, etc)in the Winter. Then run a UHP AS or Summer tire in the warm months.
I'm running a set of Yokohama Avid W4s UHP AS in the Summer on A-Specs and Michelin snows on my Type S wheels in the winter....I hate black steel stockies!

I dont know...I just put sumitomo htr z iii tires the new ones that came out and they are awesome. rated at 300 tread wear and only costed 189 per tire on my 19s...19x8.5 tire size 245/35/19. look it up on tirerack.com, they tested them against re050a pole positions and got a better rating, better ride, tread life, more comfortable, and a lot cheaper. i only had them on for about 1k miles, but they seem really nice. quiet, but i havent driven them hard yet because im still in my break in period...only 1.2k on my type s...=)
