Need some new shoes for my daily. currently has 195/65/15's thinkin about going with 205/55 or 60's. I really dont know what to go with but I need something that has better handling characteristics than the Michelin's that are on it.

I am a fan of Toyo Proxie4's.

Good in the Rain, Awesome in the Dry. If you are Going to Drag, do a burnout on Western Family grape soda and your tires will be Super Sticky, Makes for Awesome Launches. :thumb:

I have a Set on my EK Hatch, A Set on my Sedan, And on my Second set on my Integra. :lol:

i have them in 195/50/R15 on my Integra and Sedan and 205/50/R16 on my Hatch.

I love these Tires, When I need Replacement Tires, I will get them again.

Traction in the rain is a must for me here because of the terrestrial down pours in the summer time.

hows the road noise? and hows the wear on them?

By far, one of the best tires I've put on a car. :thumb:

how much you looking to spend? I got a set of Falken Zeix on my 96 HX dd and they've been great tires in all of Ohio's weather.
They were pretty cheap too, $240 for the set

wow, those tire sizes are whack!!

195/50 or 55s are what you will need for a set of 15s. 205/50s would be a better choice.

The gforce sports are a good tire. I had them on my LS meshies. Good in the rain and in the dry weather. Kumhos were good as well. The ASTs.

I know right, but that's what Toyota put on it. I would like to drop profile on them but they'll look tiny in the wheel wells and this like I said is my dd and I don't want to do any mods to it b/c I plan on trading it in once its worth what I owe. I like the car but I'd rather be driving a Honda.

195-50 kumho ecsta ast's. Ive had these for about 6months and i still have a ton of tread and they perform very well in the rain and even better in dry.
