Tires to get for new wheels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

red_comet · 02-21-2014, 09:45 PM

Hello all. I've just received new wheels in the mail, all four of which are in dire need of some all-season goodness. Of the four tires above, which do you recommend and why?

PS- I don't have the space for storing an extra set, so I can't do summer/winter tires throughout the year. For all those "All seasons? Do you even race bro?" people that i'll end up ignoring.

My wheelses- 18x8 et45 Axis Sport Xplode

I can't see any list of tires (maybe because I'm on my phone?), but if I had to get all seasons, I'd go for pilot a/s 3s...

Michilen Tires! A/S3 or pilot super sports.

Great looking wheels. I voted for the Cooper tires, not a very well known brand but they make a quality tire.

I've heard nothing but amazing things about the A/S 3's. I know that's the route I'm going when I need all seasons

Those are summer tires though, aren't they?

They are. The DWS is the all season.

OP says of the four listed, btw... the Michelins are above my price range.

I'm on a budget, people! I am a teacher, not some fancy city delivery cyclist surgeon.

(What...?)
@FR-S Matt @chrisl - I had the DWS on my crossfire, they indeed were awesome but more than I can afford for now.

Thanks, but need 225/40r18 for proper fit.

I find my Goodyear Eagle A/S sports work good for my car in the PNW. I understand that the F1 Asymmetric AS are as good (or better).
