i am getting close to needing new tires, what are you running and would you buy them again

i have stock steel 15" wheels on the car, i would like to get some aftermarket alloys but honestly i can't find any that i like well enough to invest in, if i do they will be 15" wheels

yokohama s drive tires.... ftmfw! id die if i didnt have them.. had a BOLT in my tire, was able to get it safely to the tire shop as the sidewalls still had enough stamina that i didnt have to put my spare on just to go around the corner. i would recommend these tires to EVERYONE.. and not just cuz we have 2 yoko reps here on yw.. but because these things really rock!

Thanks for the info !!
Do you or anyone know what kind of milage i could expect from these, damn good lookin tire !

currently i got the factory Brigstones they still got a little life in them with a little over 32,000 miles on them so as you can see i'm not real hard on tires

I love my Toyo Proxes4 tires. I know others don't, and that right there is the problem with asking about new tires. Everyone has a favourite, and everyone's driving style is different. I like grip, and will sacrifice mileage for it, so that helps my choice.
YMMV :smile:

Also, be aware of what type of tire it is - the Proxes4 is an all-season, whereas the S-Drive is a Summer-only tire. No ice, snow or near-freezing temps. Where you live makes a difference.

As far as tires go, I'm running 195/55/15 Falken Ziex 912s. I really like them for a high-performance all-season tire. I've owned a few sets of Falken Ziex 512s and liked them, too.

The Yokohama Avid V4s is working well for me. Plenty of grip for the street, and as long as you don't do any track days on them they'll last for a long time.
