    you need to upgrade your wheels....ep3's works very well with 225 tires.225/50-16 are dam close to stock in dia. Get some lite 7x16 rimes and you will be suprized how well it works.

    leave the 205's to the ek's

    Falken Ziex 512s' or 912s'....


    I wouldn't put too much into daily driven rubber, I went through a set of tires within a year on my RSX... ( I love burnouts, it's a sickness I know.)

    if you are serious about auto-x start saving up for a dedicated set of track wheels and tires. there isnt an all-season on the market that can competently do both dd and track duty.

    for dd though, look into either the falkens mentioned above or the kumho asx. i have a set of the kumhos and love them.

    I agree...if you are going to do both, then it is better to have another set of tires if you are going to auto-x...One thing I found out about the BF Goodridge G-Force Sports is that they were really grippy as for dd and really good for the rain as well...But since then, I had my spoon etd installed, I couldn't really get that good grip...I'm looking for more grippy tires myself and still stay below $100 per tire...

    spot on as always.. i'm running the BFGoodrich G-Force Sports but in 215/45-17 and i love them. but if you're serious about auto-x then get a set of track wheels and put some Falken st 615's on them. or some competition only rated Nitto's..

    well i have never autox yet, so thats why i say maybe a run for when i try it to see how i like it!

    i guess falken ziex 912s in 225/50/16 it is!! lol was just curious if there were any other decent DD tire out there that doesnt cost and arm and a leg

    appreciate all the feedback

    Im in the same boat!!!... my toyo proxes4 are wearing out and Im looking for some new tires that perform well under different conditions, lasts pretty solid and has sweet tread looks. The tires that Im considering are the Yokohoma ES100 or Falken Azenis?

    Thanks,
    Matt
