what do you want out of the tire? Wet traction? Dry? Quite ride? ect ect ect....

joshb_ 03-17-2005 06:37 PM

quite tire, decent tire for launching and aggressive daliy driving. I got to the track about every other week and drive pretty aggressive. I like a nice quite ride as well. Im trying to say in the under 80 a tire range.

Well... the bfg g-force will have the most dry grip out of that group (allong with being the most expensive) followed closely by the falken beta, then the nitto neo gen. the ziex 512 is the only All season tire of the group...


The Beta will probably ride the quietest....

joshb_ 03-17-2005 06:56 PM

yea, i think im in a toss up between the beta and bfg.....the nitto really looks sweet but i dont know about asymetrical in the rain.

I like the nittos. Im getting a set in a week as well. From my experience with a friends WRX, they have good grip, decent in the rain and good lateral hold. Thats on a 318AWHP/300AWTQ WRX.

I have the nitto neo gen. They grip the corners good. pretty good wet traction with all the rain we had this season in so cal. I need to get new tires ASAP I'm leaning to going with the neo gen. I got about 40,000 out of these puppies. I'm also looking into the BFG g-force.

I'd say none of the above b/c after lots of research on this and other sites the Toyo Proxes 4's have received the most praise and that's what I'm prolly getting. Otherwise for the money savings and all weather, daily driving high marks I'd go with Falken 512's.

I guess I just like being different :hithead:
Kumho 712s, pretty qiuet, great in rain and dry traction!

Firestone fr690. If you want to die in the rain I think dunlop makes a good tire.

I just purchased the 195/65HR Bridgestone Potenza G009 for my factory rims. It's one of the best all season tires in my opinion. Wet traction of the G009 amazed me.
