Thread: New Rims, Need help with tires!

Look into the Hankook RS-2's. They are pretty cheap, almost R compound handling, nice ride, quiet, they look sick, they have great treadwear, and do awesome in the wet as well.

and the sizing is better. A 205 in the RS-2's are like a 215 in the azenis since they have a larger footprint.

whats size sidewall you think? 45 or 50? They only have a 200 treadwear. I'm really looking at the BFGoodrich g-force sports.

Also has anyone dealt with the Kumho Ecsta AST? There $39 each on tire rack lol kinda hard to pass that up unless there terrible haha

Get some Falken Ziex Ze-912 They have a thick sidewall.

already posted I don't like the 912's. I would rather take the 512's. have had better experience and in my opinion are better.

That doesn't sound right. The Azenis are already "oversized" from typical tires meaning their 205 is a bit wider than most 205s. They tend to fit like a 215. You're saying the RS-2 is even wider? I doubt it, as I'm running RS-2's in a 225 and have zero rubbing all around (B13 BTW). You're saying it's more like a 245? I don't think so.

If they are anything like the rest of their tire offerings, I'd stay away if you're looking for any amount of real grip. Their best, summer-only performance tire for a while was outbeat by the all-season Falken Ziex by a far margin from my experience when it comes to grip.

ok, I think whenever I get the money im gonna go with the 512's or g-force sports. Just need a size now :/ I want 215's But I duno how they'll fit and I duno if i wanna go with a 40 sidewall, seems small for me for ohio haha to many pot holes.

Start trying to find tires of size 215/xx/15 and the decision of 40, 45 or 50 sidewall might be made for you.
