    DC2 tire recommendation

    I need to get new tires for my integra. Thinking about 215/45/16 or 215/40/16. Can I get some pictures of these fitment? Which tires are good for the street?

    I need grippy tires for dry roads on mountains but need reasonably grippy tires for the rain too since I have no ABS. Thanks

    40 for looks, 45 for comfort. Probably not a big difference though TBH.

    As for what tyre to use, it depends on your budget.

    If cheap, I use the Kumho KU31. Good value for $. But there are better tyres out there...

    I use these personally:

    http://toyotires.com.au/tyres/passen...m/5-proxes-t1r

    Was running Kumhos before not that great in rain.
    But are good in tread life( great for daily use)

    Toyos are Fine just a tad pricey:
    - I remember $170 each for 205 / 50 /15
    -Excellent in the rain, and for daily use.
    -Used these tyres for the drag way as well ( they cope really well)
    -Not as good tread life as the kumhos though as these tyres are abit softer.

    Buying my 2nd set of Toyo T1RS this Week

    Im buying tires for the first time in my life lol so Im not sure how much to spend on them. From what I've researched on other threads, they seem to be around $200 for good tires so I would say around there

    I dont think I need really good tires as of now. I have a stock b18cr in my teg and I dont track my car, occassionally go on mountains. Would these tires be enough? whats the average price for them for the size im after?

    Yes they will be enough.

    TBH I don't know about 16's. Never bought them.

    They have good dry grip, pretty decent wet. Good tread-life. Start quiet and get slightly noisy after about 10,000KMs but not really that noticeable IMO (Not like Maxis tyres they're f'kin sh!te loud).

    In 195/50/15 I've been paying $100 from private sellers brand new. RRP probably 110-120. So FWIW it's a decent option.
