Hey people,
I have stock 15" rims with wheel covers which sucks, but I can't do anything about it atm. I have toyo proxies 4's on there right now which are 205/55r15's v-rated. They royally suck... The goodyear's that were 195/55r15 I had when I got it were SOOOOOO much better. So anyways, I need a change. I'm looking at Michelin Pilot exalto 205/55r15's. What's your guys opinions? What has served you well? I want something with good handling and still good tread life. Is 205/55r15 the best size? Let me know! Thanks! |

Wow, thanks guys. One thing I would like to point out is that the new Kumho 4x is supposed to improve on all of the aspects where the ASX sucked. I don't know if there is any truth to this, but that's what they say on all the reviews I've seen. Supposedly you can get a lot more wear out of them.

They have a 40K warranty vs 30K for the ASX's. The tires are supposed to be UHP. They're not designed for lots of miles. We have limited choices in the stock tire size. Fuzzy |
