well i've come to that time where my tires are just worn down with little tread life left so Im looking to buy new ones. Anyone have any suggestions? Im planning on keeping my stock 15" rims so i'm going to stick with the 205/55R15 size tires. My GT came with bridgestone Potenza G009 Tires and they were amazing but i'm looking to try out some new treads, something for a daily driver and not track use. I dont want to kill my MPG now.... Or my wallet . My friend can get me some brand new Hancook's for pretty cheap and I can also get Falkens for around the same price but I'm intrested to hear what tires seem to work best for your cars (Specifically 205/55R15's but anything will do). And I'll get an Alignment to just to be safe

So being that i just recently got new rims and 225/50r16 toyo proxes 4 tires.

Im having rubbing issues as you can see in the link below.

Well so far so good, the toyo proxes 4 have been a good all around ultra high performance all season tires[color="#0000FF"][/color].

Im debating on what i should get for my next set of tires (even though its only been 2 months since I've had them, with 2,000 miles on them so far).

Constantly thinking of my next mod for the celica will be biggrin.gif . I like the look and width of the 225/50r16 tires, but they are rubbing slightly when i make u-turns. Im looking for a tire that matches up to the performance of the proxes 4 that are in sizes 215/45r16 or 225/45R16 and don't cost more than $110 a tire. So far I've only found Toyo T1R in 225/45R16 but those are high performance summer tires, and they will wear out much faster than proxes 4 right?

When taking turns somewhat fast, i notice that i don't have much grip at the beginning of the turn, but when i start coming towards the end of the turn i feel my tires really stick to the road. I get that weird g-force pull at the end of the turn, which feels amazing. Would this happen for tires such as toyo t1r or yokohoma s drive?
