Need advice from Tire Guru's
I want to get a set of the new Azenis RT-615, but they only come in 205/55 for 16" rims. I want 205/50 if possible. Should I sacrifice the height for these tires? I've read nothing but great reviews for them.
If not, here are the potential 205/50 16 tirese I can get:
Toyo Proxes T1-S
Hankook Ventus V4ES H105
Yokohama AVS ES100
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW
Cooper Zeon ZPT
Kumho ECSTA SPT
I got those suggestions from a Modified aritcle since I'm not a tire expert. Any suggestions on which tire? Or any suggestions on a tire I haven't mentioned? I want GREAT grip for handling and street usable with a decent rating on slippery surfaces. (Just in case)
Thanks for the help!!!!

not much of a fan of most of thoes tires.
except for teh es100's thoes are really nice. side wall is a little soft but other wise than that its a great tire, life time wasnt to bad also.
a good tire that people over look and is a great all around tire is the yoko avid v4s
thats the next tire im getting.

Gripwise, you're gonna want the T1S, BFGs or the aforementioned SO3s. Its not enough height difference to make me care, but its not my car.

Thanks for help all. I'm going to get the 215/50 16 BGF g-Force T/A KDW. I decided on 215/50 because of the extra width and it is identicle to stock in circumfrence.
If you think this is a bad idea, you have 1 hour to change my mind before I go buy the tires.
PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS A BAD CHOICE

Ha Ha, never mind. I've been worrying about the tire size based off the Civic. Since, I have the RSX-S ECU and engine I have to base the tire size off the stock RSX-S
But thanks for help everyone!!!!
