Falken Azenis tend to offer great value for money and would probably be your best bet if on a budget.

for street or track only?? if for street waste of money and loud!!!

but IF you have to get a set get a set of Bridgestone RE540's... they should be on run out to accommodate new RE55's... not much problem wet handling and awesome dry handling...

the Falken Azenis RT215 isnt really a semi slick. they are a really high performance street tyre.

I have used dunlop Formula R D88J and found them to be pretty damn good.
don't use it on teh street tho cos thats a waste of money. they can cost in the high $200 mark for a 15 inch one.

I can speak for the TOYO's that EG5 are selling.

I had the car stock, drove it hard on stock rims for a few days and got scared by how much understeer there was. Tyres were screeching like mad. This is with stock suspension by the way on my EG.

I got a set of these semi slicks from EG5 and fanged around the same corners and my goodness. Awesome. Not even a tiny little bit of screeching, nada, no loss of traction at all. They make a little bit of noise when you're just going straight on a smooth road which is to be expected of semi-slicks. I even floor it through roundabouts now and that's with stock suspension! Can't wait to get some real suspension for these tyres.

16 x 7 is your best bet for rim wdith... so you'd be looking at 205/45/16
