Yesterday was a good day.. Not only did some of my EDM parts arrive but I was also lucky in finding a set of 7th gen GT-S rims at the junkyard today for really cheap! smile.gif

So I'm looking to get a set of tires to use for the summer only as the tires on the new rims are fricken bald like crazy! i'm sure the last owner was peeling out constantly to make the tires turn this way.
anyway, my current rims now will be my winter rims. i'll eventually put some madd winter tires on it.
soo, i'm looking to see what tires are best for dry pavement. sorry i'm a noob about this stuff. besides, we have short summers here. oh and seeing how many people here have a lot of experience with many brand names, please give some advice as to what brands or types and sizes i should go with and why... post pics if you can.

btw, i don't like the really thin, low profile style (i never have to be honest)... i'd rather have something that offers excellent grip yet offers decent ride quality. and i'm really liking defgeph's tires btw.. what are they? they look outstanding.

here are a couple pics of the new rims:

*** check out the tires, hmm i wonder how the celica ended up at the wrecker yard.... biggrin.gif

I have ZR 205/45/R16s that are excellent tires. They are summer only tires, but offer superb grip and handling. I love autoxing with them. Bit expensive tires tho...
