What kinda tires do you use? Options

[Valo666]

Im just curious on what kinda tires ppl use on their celi's. Ive got hurculese tires(cant remember the model name). They are directional, z-rated and cheap 2. the guy paid $130 or somethin like that each for them. I was lookin into gettin some hankook but they are kinda pricy. what kinda tires u use?

[Philip]

Hankook Ventus HR-II!!

[Mr_E]

225/40ZR18 Goodyear Eagle F1s.

The last set lasted 1500 miles. About a thousand bucks.

Bugger.

[jgreening]

Those are bad choices for the poll. I have directional all season tires and the poll choices imply that only summer tires are directional.

[amysmojo]

umm I didnt vote...but here is my tire info:

Kumho: ECSTA Supra

The KUMHO ECSTA Supra 712 Directional tread was developed to meet the very highest demands of those drivers who require the absolute best in handling and traction. With its European design and styling, the ECSTA Supra delivers Ultra High Performance. Also includes RWI Technology.

[CelicaQT]

Here's the tires that I'm using.

Summer/Spring:
*215/40/17 Nitto NT NeoGen ZR

Fall/Winter:

[playr158]

personally i'm just dealing with whatever tires came with my package deal from VELOX and then getting
BFgoodrich g-force KDW2

[xRaveNx]

205-40-17 Kumho Ecsta ASX

[elvasoshexai]

toyo spectrums.... eh.... they're loud when turning... and... for some reason they suck @ 120km/h... but anything above and below is fine

[95CelicaST]

I have Goodyear Eagle RS-A. People say they aren't good, but at 8 inches wide, you can't go wrong. I am probably going to buy some Goodyear g- force tires soon...

BTW I voted "whats a tire"

[right][snapback]322598[/snapback][/right]

really? what type of problems did u guys have w/ them?

oh & its Kumho hehee

[Valo666]

kumhos are ok qaulity, great cheap sticky tire for drifting(considering ur gonna tear em up quick any ways). My friend whos got a full drift hatchi runs on new kumhos on mk2 supra rims in the rear when drifting and runs on falkens when just driving on a set of 15 inch Volk TE37s. but yea, kumhos wear out quick. well..drifting at least..

[dustin15brown]

nankang

[ShadowFX]

how are the nankangs? im planning on buying rims and tyres soon, and they come with Nankang NS-2s. are they any good?

[chicklover345]

I have for the front tires, Wanli s-1099 215/35/ZR18 and for the back I just got new Toyo Proxes TR1 225/40/ZR18 and they are all high speed directionals.

[right][snapback]323891[/snapback][/right]

Coso dont you mean 205/55/R15?
Anyways how are the P6000?
I've got the P5000, and I was thinking of changing
to the P6000 when my tires are bald?

[CoSo]

Oh oops yeah R15. I believe there's a difference between Powergys and other Pirelli P6000s. I can't seem to find many reviews (a few are here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...6000%20Powergy) on that specific tyre, and seeing as they're the only tyres I've had on my Celi, I can't really comment on how they perform. But I feel that they are certainly adequate for the driving that I do.

Nitto NT555

245 - 35 - 19 Rear

DTE

[Insanity-74]

Falken tyres. 225/35/18. a good compromise between grip and longevity. if not a touch expensive at almost $1000 a set. Have nearly worn them through on the backroads of sunny Scotland last month so will be after a new set soon, probably Yoko`s or Toyo`s will see how good the bank balance is at the time.

[_rz_]

Yokohama AVS-102 sport

[darksecret]

Kuhmo Ecsta 205 40R-17, i've used Supras before but they wear to quick for me, and if anyone saw my little clip Ecstas work just fine for handling, 100 mph around a 45 mph bend.

[playr158]

Kuhmo 711 is what we used.....if it was a tiny bit cold out the tires wouldn't stick and would slide very easily....crappy in wet
just never gave good traction and just poor performance....

[SlowCelica94]

Eagle F1 GSD3. They rock. Really helped out in my autocrossing. But like the gt4 owner said, they're expensive. You get what you pay for with tires tho.

[bonzaisushi]

Falken Azenis for the fun! Prada spec2's in the rear and Proxies in the front for regular stuff

[eggman40]

Yokohama Es100's 205-55-16 Good tires for the price.

[crazycel18]

215/35/18 toyo proxy 4s

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

i have kumho 711s right now. i dont think they are that great. im waiting for them to wear out so i can get some yoko es100s.

[lazer_mjj]

GT4 - Bridgestone GIII, 225/45/17
St - Bridgestone RE040, 225/40/18

Had a set of Toyo proxes T1-S on the St, they lasted about 12000 miles. The Bridgestone have loads more grip on corners compared to the Toyo, however they did cost me £560 for a set.

[trdevelopment]

falken azenis are one of the most stickiest tires out there right now im gonna get some within the next week or two.

lol because those treads are probably super hard because of the 400 treads! what's the traction rating? A...B?? if AA im gonna be mad!

[dans_st]

TOYOT T1-S Proxes---245/35/ZR19 all around on AXIS 19x8.5 HIRO's
NITTO Drag Radial----245/40/17 on Trak-lite 17's

[Insanity-74]

Just ditched the Faulkens (wore them out on some Scotish B-Roads) for some Kumho 711`s, not bad tyres at all, judging by some of the comments on here they work better with 4wd than they do with 2wd as they have taken all I have thrown at them so far.

[BigEdge169]

With my 17"s I chose to go for the 215-40 size. With this in mind, I originally had Yokohama Paradas and they were great, really great for handling but the tread life was terrible. I autocrossed in them and they worked great, but I didn't even get a year out of them.

If you don't race all that much and want a good all around wet/dry tire, get some Yokohama Avid H4s. I'm on my second set now and still love them. If you rotate them regularly, you'll get great life out of them and pretty decent traction when needed. I'll use these until I switch to a different size wheel when my car is finally not a daily driver.

i use Falken FK-451 in 225/35ZR17Y front and rear

falken ziex ze512 205/50/16, love them and they only cost me 69 dollars a piece. not bad for a tire that won consumer digest best buy. when i need a new set im going to go with either 225/45, 225/50 or maybe 205/45 but i think id like a wider section width

[lil_lissa]

bridgestone potenza S03 in rear
ventus or something like that in front..

[S_C_M]

Yokohama AVS ES100 225/45/16. Going tomorrow to have two new ones mounted. Good tires, imo.
