I'm expecting you'll get a lot of Falken responses here. But I run BF Goodrich G-Force sports and fucking LOVE THEM. Don't ever plan on changing. I'm used to the way they play and I really like the feel I get from them on braking, cornering, peeling out, everything.

Mine are Falken's... Not sure which exactly they are bald and about to be changed out. I am a big fan of Yokohama tires.

I'd look into the Yokohama S.drive tires. I am sure they come in 215/45/17 as it's what I plan to upgrade to soon. On tirerack.com they run like $109.00 or so and got great scores mostly upper 8's in traction, cornering, and noise/ride comforts.

I read some reviews on those. I do all my stuff as far as tire purchase through discount tire as far as my all season tires but I did love the parada's when I had them before but I can't find them now. Yoko tires are one of my favorites

I just got some Nitto NT 450 tires a week ago. They give a very comfortable and smooth ride if you commute. The only thing that might bother someone is that they are a little noisy ~45-65 mph but it doesn't bother me at all. I love the tread pattern on them too, they look great.

Would anyone think these would look cool on my taff white ep?

I like those tires as well. I had those on my 96 prelude and also the NT 555's

I can vouch for the S-Drives. Noise and ride comfort are great. Cornering seemed to be ok, probably because I'm on 50 series (16")

personally, i would say stay away from falken tires... i'm not a big fan of theirs at all... had bad problems with their tires in the past and won't go back because of them... i'm currently running kumhos and have been for a while... i would definitely recomment going with a kumho tire or nitto... those are hte best tires i've ridden on so far... if you want something cheap and get the best bang for the buck, go with a capital tire... those are surprisingly good quality...

the tire that really made me happy, and best bang for the buck in my eyes... was the kumho ecsta mx's.... def getting another set.... but just my two cents... like the rims by the way

I agree 100%. I've had these tires for a little over 6 months and they are the absolute biggest performance boost I've done to my EP.
