I have the stock 15-inch wheels, so I'm looking at 195/60/15 tires.

Right now I have it narrowed down to the BFG BFG g-Force Super Sport H-rated. Good choice? I have old 14" rims i'm gonna put some winter tires on, so i'm not worried about winter on the BFG's.

The only bad thing I've read on the super sports is that your mpg goes down 3-5mpg. Right now I'm getting 29mpg with crappy "Enduro Runway" tires with lots of camber in the rear - so I guess i'm not really worried about getting worse mpg with the BFG's.

The only other tires i've thought about getting are:
Kumho Solus KR21
Mastercraft Avenger Touring LS
Kumho Solus KH16
Kumho KH14
Dunlop Signature
Hankook H418 Optimo


Any of those better thant the BFG super sports? I'm not looking for a ultra high performance summer tire, just a decent H-rated tire.

Its the only tire my roomie runs on her EK. She's gone through three sets in the five years I've lived with her. She loves them for year-round use, as well. At work, we sell a lot of the Kumho Solus

They're good tires for daily driven. I have the z rated tires and I'm on my 2nd set.

I just bought these tires from TireRack. They are holding my k24 power exceptionally well and the price is unbeatable when you use the rebate:

If you are getting Winter tires then why are you picking an all season tire for the rest of the time?

Look at Summer tires, they'll grip in the dry much better then all seasons and will more then likely grip in the wet better too.

They cost more and wear out faster. I'm not gonna be doing anything where I need that extra grip from a summer tire.

I ran g-force sport on my EP, and loved them. dobbs02si has em on his EP with 300+hp, and they do very well. I'm about to put a set on my legacy gt.

Not on your list, but I've always trusted the avids from Yokohama.

yeah, on my 1st set, I got them up to 55K miles and the people at America's/Discount Tire was surprised.

granted, i never tracked them or anything. a little bit of spirited driving once in a while.

Most people dont expect a tire with a 340AA treadwear rating to last 60k miles. 40k maybe.

Great set of tires. It lastes pretty long and its pretty grippy too.
