Depends whats the car going to be used for and budget.
My car is lowered with alot of Camber so i use cheap $65 China shit and it honestly
handles good. I take round abouts at 55km/h and no understeer or any sign of the car wanting
to slide out. It actually holds in well at high speed corners and goes where i want it to go
Kumho ku31 best bang for buck IMO
Achilles ATR
I got Kumho KU31 on the celica and yes it has pretty good grip wet or dry but its a bit noisy.
Dunlop SP Maxx or Pirelli PZero Rosso
I haven't had any issues with them in the wet for some reason. When I had like Rotalla or what ever it was called on a Falcon, that was pretty shit in the wet. I was pretty happy with the Michelin Energy tyres on my father's 2007 Accord... 50,000KMs and we're NEAR a tyre change (original tyres since new). I may stand corrected but I THINK the Civic Sport with 215/45/17 tyres is Michelin MXV from the factory?!Quote:

It's a world of difference from the 15" Turanzas i had before hand (they were so-so). The stock Dunlop's that come with the civic are terrible.
get a 225 45 instead of 215..
