: Tires ELGUPASO 10-02-2006, 09:58 PM i wanted to get some of you guys opinion on what brand to get for some new tires. i live in socal, so i dont see any snow here. i am going to stick with 205/50/15 size wise. i been looking at the Fuzions, but not decided or convinced. i also dont want to spend a lot for tires. Dick 10-02-2006, 10:55 PM Most people will tell you Falcen Ziex 512. This usually seems to be the most used tire. Here's where they are usally the cheapest>>> http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireDetail.do?cf=false&sw=false&cs=205&pc=28735&rd=15&ar=50 ELGUPASO 10-02-2006, 11:07 PM Most people will tell you Falcen Ziex 512.

Driven97 10-02-2006, 11:36 PM Proxes 4 are all season tires, so the "shouldn't" be as sticky as a summer only tire. Never used either one, so ymmv. ELGUPASO 10-02-2006, 11:52 PM Proxes 4 are all season tires, so the "shouldn't" be as sticky as a summer only tire. Never used either one, so ymmv. yeah thats true, but i want something that handle rain too. i had thought about summer only, but i will screwed when the rain comes down and dont want to be hydroplaning. Prepsx 10-03-2006, 02:51 AM yeah thats true, but i want something that handle rain too. i had thought about summer only, but i will screwed when the rain comes down and dont want to be hydroplaning.I have the proxes on my B14 and they have good grip on the wet condition:confused: sad part I can't drift with this tires. I have the V rated one. I know its too much cause im not going to go over 165 mph, probably a Z rated one will do. I hear a lot f good things about the fusions to. Its very good for how much they are selling it. As well as the G-force all weather. dmp316 10-03-2006, 07:53 AM These are the ones i had and loved all of them Kumho ASX-------------- I have these on right now and they are fu****** awesome Ziex ZE-512------------- Very very good for the price TOYO Proxes 4---------- awesome as well LBCStudios 10-03-2006, 08:55 AM I hope you guys that are reccommending the ziex 512 have ridden on them before you throw the name out there. Those tires suck, the sidewall is soft as can be. Your car will not handle very well if you drive aggressive at all, and you will not be able to do any autocross. One tire I DO reccommend and have on my car now : Yokohoma AVS es 100.. for that size I got them shipped for 320 or so??? Didn't mean to come across as a Di*k, but those tires in my opinion are not made for any fun driving. ELGUPASO 10-03-2006, 03:18 PM anyone tried the BFGoodrich g-force sport's???? udriveu 10-03-2006, 04:16 PM anyone tried the BFGoodrich g-force sport's???? Not in 15's, but in 16's. I like them, but it seems like they're wearing out pretty quick. SERAdam98 10-03-2006, 04:40 PM i have had traction issues with the proxie 4's. but only in the rain, in nice weather they are one of the best all around tires ive ever had. ELGUPASO 10-03-2006, 05:00 PM also, what are some good springs to put on my b14. i am getting the KYB AGX adjustable and want some springs to go with them. dont know how good the H&R springs are with the b14, but they were great when i had my Jetta. any thoughts ??? dmp316 10-03-2006, 05:13 PM also, what are some good springs to put on my b14. i am getting the KYB AGX adjustable and want some springs to go with them. dont know how good the H&R springs are with the b14, but they were great when i had my Jetta. any thoughts ???

The AVS ES100's are insanely good in the rain :biggthump MIXMASTAP2 10-04-2006, 02:03 PM hey....the fuzion zri's are awesome for the street. they grip real well in the dry, awesome awesome in the rain. no snow ***. the 512's can't compare in the dry. your looking at an a/s tire (falken) vs. a performance summer tire (fuzion = bridgestone). i ran both on my car. i loved the fuzions. loved the falkens but that was last winter. now i'm on to bfg gforce sports and i love those too but the sidewall is a little squishy. go with the fuzions if you don't have to do snow | ||
