Good tires at a decent price

If that's all the choices u gonna give me then I'll take the Dunlop. Good tires. One comment though, don't get Yoko Spec-2. It didn't work out for me when it is wet.

I have available some 215 45 16 Falken Azenis that have about 95% thread left.
Best tire for the buck if u ask me, Ive owned the 15s, 16s and will17s soon.
Reason Im selling, I upgraded to 17s.

Asking $350:) lmk.

what is the wheel width and offset? need to kno wthis info before i can give you and accurate opinion. i can however tell you this.....with 16 inch rims i would go with a 50 series tire. unless you're gonna slam the shiet out of it, then maybe a 45 series..... imo of course

The best tire you list is the Potenza S0-3, but probably by far the most expensive, while the Dunlop FM901 are the best bang for your buck... imo. (205/50-16)

WOW! I'm new to this forum and EP's in general (wife picked hers up last week).

Can you even FIT a 245 on the car?:p

We're already looking at new rims for hers, and I would like to go as wide as possible for the street. (She'll probably be autocrossing GS, so we'll put some sticker on the stockers.)
