what brand and style tire are YOU using?, lets compare notes Options

[presure2]

hey all,
looking @ buying a new set of sneakers (tires..lol) for the car, and, im thinking about trying a diffrent tire than what i have been.
I've been using Falken ZIEX 502's then 512's, since i got aftermarket rims..with decent results. for ~89$ a tire, they were ok.
however, once they get some miles on them, they are aweful in the rain. the car hydroplanes all over the place.
and with the extra power of the 5sfte, traction is DEFINETLY an issue, ANY time i get on it in 1st or 2nd.
so, im wondering what all you guys are using for tires, especially you swapped guys!
brand, style, size, list it all!
if you just bought them with the rims, that dont count.
how many miles you get out of a set would be good if you know that as well.
i get about 20-25k out of a set of the falkens.
TIA

Nice tires! I was going to say that depending on your needs for all season traction, I also have the Kumho ASX's and they're a good inexpensive sports tire with good all season grip and treadwear rating.
I've been undecided on them in the past, but i believe its because my suspension is so stiff now that it makes them feel sort of loose due to the fat 205/55/15 size......so much sidewall to give in. I also chewed up the inside and outside edge from my suspension, but they've been on my car a long time also.

Manny, those Michelins look like a good tire with lots of all-season ability.


If I had to choose an all-out sport tire, however, I would choose either Falken Azenis or Toyo Proxes, I've had experiences with both and they're incredible tires.
