I took it for granite that they made a Azeni in that size.
Do they offer one size up? You could probably make that work.
Kuhmo mx are supposed to be comparable to azenis. Dont quote me on that though.
what about BF goodrich g-force?

i hear they are really nice.... but a little noisy. I am probaly going to spring for these once my shitty nankangs are gone.
It kind of depends on what you're going to use them for (since they suck for drag racing, but are great for auto-x and stuff), but Bridgestone Pole Position S-03's are really good tires and have a pretty good tread rating too.
kumhos suck. a goood tire is nitto 555s or 555r's if your made of money
Toyo Proxy T1-S

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

Potenza SO-3 Pole Position

Yokohama ES100

Khumo Ecsta V700 competition

looking for a grippy tire for the street and that i could actually hook -up a little better then the end of third gear!!!
Goodyears got great reviews in SCC and the Toyo is proven to grip! I recommend those.

What would you go with if it were between the V700 & Khumo MX's? I won a set of khumos from the convention and was thinking about getting the MX's. The V700 would wear faster probably, right?
the V700 would wear faster yeah, but they are grippy.

Thanks man. After reading reviews on tirerack.com, I think I'm going to go with the MX.
khumo's are good traction but thay wear crazy fast... like 8 months. Go with Toyo, good for both, hook up nice and longer life.
Falken Ziex 512's are by far the most underrated tire I know. Have them on my beater. Unbelievable traction, wet or dry. Have them on my specV, same results. Took the stockers off my beater and put them on the beast. Cold night, obviously more power and tires don't heat up as well. Ungodly traction!! I will be purchasing another set here shortly, that makes all my cars wearing those shoes. driverfx.com has 205/45/16 for $68 each.

Shoot, for that price I might have to pick up a set for myself. I've got an extra set of 16's that I'm gonna be buying tires for in the next month or so. Got a question about the tread wear though, how fast do they wear out?
**EDIT**
Oh yeah - is that $68 shipped?
I've got 215/40/17 Falken Azenis ST-115's and I like em alot. Very Quiet, Very smooth, and great traction. Like em so much my sis got some 245/35/19 Azenis ST-115's on her 03 Altima.

Well, I have 711's that came on the car now. They suck, however, they have excellent wear, they are wearing perfetly. I wont get another brand of tire right now, casue if you read my post before me saying I was getting MX's, I wont a free set of 4 khumos at the convention, so Im getting whats free.
