tire recommendations please!

hey,

i'm in the market for a new set of tires to wrap my new 16''s. currently running 215/40/17 and i'm aiming to get 205/45/16 on my new rims. looking for a reasonable, budget, all season tire. looking into kumho asx and others. could anyone recommend me a set with my desired preferences? perhaps a short review as well? thanks in advance

Re: tire recommendations please!

if you want fairly decent tire (for average driving), fusion HRi is a good one.

I don't have a review, but I've heard good things about the Kumho ASX series, and BFGoodrich's gForce series has gotten great reviews if you don't mind spending a little bit more for higher quality. Tires aren't something I'd cut corner on, they're the most important part of the car.

Re: tire recommendations please!

yeah, they affect how well you can corner, accelerate, and brake. its really a big difference depending on what you get.

Re: tire recommendations please!

The right size is 205/50/16, unless you want smaller tires.

Re: tire recommendations please!

that's what i figured but i'm planning on going slightly lower

so after lurking around countless forums, tire faqs, picture threads, and numerous review sites, i order a set of kumho asx in 205/45/16 so hopefully those'll be good.

thanks again for those who contributed
