Recommend new tires
Hey guys, just curious what tires you guys use/recommend.
The stock michelins are about at the end of its life and gonna need new tires soon. Mostly looking at summer tires since its socal but open to all seasons if they are better.

whichever 200 tw tire you can find on sale.
Depends on what you are looking for. Do you want the tires to last or do you want the absolute best traction possible? |

The champiro sx2 can be found on sale at performance your I think, in long Beach for fifty bucks a tire. Not the best tire but it's plenty good for street and track if you aren't chasing times.

The available sizes for the 555 G2 are kinda limited... no 245/40/17 or 245/35/18... I had MPSS, which I replaced with hankook v12's. I will not be getting hankooks again. Next, MPS4S

The v12's weren't bad but they weren't great. The side wall was a little too soft for my taste. |

I found Advan AD08 for $96. Usually too expensive, last years model.
Very nice, but not long on mileage. Shop around. |

Falken Azenis 615k+
went from the stockers to these and I love them. actually much better in the rain than I thought they would be and great in the dry obviously. also they ride a ton better than the stock as well. |
