Looking for some new 215/45/17s

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm looking for a Summer tire..

Something lightweight.

Right now it's between:

Toyo Proxes T1R or the Yokohama AVID tire.

I'm coming from a Goodyear Eagle F1.

This tire was very expensive.

I don't want to spend more than 100$/tire.

 

cehck out tirerack...they are having KILLER close out deals on RE-01R's....I just got 245/40/18's for $124 a piece....normally $284....just got them today....pissed I didn't buy 2 sets

 

damn you're still alive?

 

 

so im looking at the bridgestones...

Going from a 215 to a 205 may not be what I want.

Also, going from a 215 to a 235 might not fit... Do you think I'll have rubbing issues?

(1st Gen CL lowered on Tein SS-P)

 

^^ You may want to ask the CL crew that specific one... not sure you'd get the right exposure in car talk lol


Otherwise, I still dont know what tire prices are like right now i'll have to checkthat out

check this one brah

 

I loved my Falken ZE912s I had on my stock Accord wheels (same size, 215/50/17s). They were under $70 a piece through discounttiredirect.com. Great traction, pretty light and awesome value.

 

i got Pirreli P4s on my Accord been REAL happy with em.

 

I've been happy with Bridgestone. Only tire that has been on my cars the last five or six years.

 

i just bought dunlop direzza star specs from tire rack for pretty cheap, 140 (235/40/17). $50 rebate if you buy a full set.

 

yes yes yes, still around, just in the Off-Topic section

 

235 won't work.....205 I would do just to be able to get a sticky tire like this

 

yea, that's the one I referred him to

 

wouldn't 215 be stickier than a 205?

 

technically yes, but this RE01R is a very sticky tire....i'd much rather do a 205 with that then a 215 with a medium sticky tire

 

elaborate.

why not just get this tire in 215?

 

ok i see this tire doesnt come in 215, what do you think about the yokohama s.drive?

 

Sdrive in 215 would be a good choice....i was just trying to get you a world class tire for dirt cheap

 

I put only Continental ExtremeContact on my CL. Very nice all around high performance tire but expect to get only 15,000 to 20,000 miles out of them.
