Tyre recommendations

[Tofu]

hey people
i'm looking for tires for 16" wheels
the prob is..i need a load rating of 91V

most of the sizes i'm looking at are 225/50R16
since this size is pretty close to stock rolling diameter and has the higher load rating i need...
anyone have any suggestions?
currently i'm thinking of Bridgestone Grid 3, Yoko AVS Sports, AVS ES100, and Toyo RA-1

i can get the Grid 3s for $186 in 225/50R16...so i'm leading towards this..

Why so wide? I think these may be a bit too wide for the stock rim, steering response may suffer.

first time i heard ppl recommending p6000...

everyone that i know reckon my p6000 is shit<laffz>

well i have to say they are good mate

Yspool you get my thumbs up for using p6000 :nod:

and for others who reckon they are below par...well what can i say...
i used to roll on my very pre-loved p6000 and it delivers a lil magic, i leave it to those who know the tale to highlight abt it

BS GIII's aren't bad... I corner hard on them and I have no problems...

[Yspool]

MKI4EVA have you ever used P6000's ? then how do you know they are shit? I just got a new set now and love em, but its your choice just giving my opion and options for you. :roll: Reviews are good but hands on experiance is much better!

Jim8oy, i need the wideness of the tyre to have the higher load rating
for some stupid reason the base integra has a higher load rating requirement than the Type R...??

Funky R, those links are really helpful!..thanks...but...

I bought these tires when upgraded my Type Rs wheel size to 16 x 7 from 15 x 6. I used to enjoy telepathic steering response from the stock Potenza RE010s and with these tires I feel like I am driving on JELLO. They suffer from terrible sidewall flex and extremely vague turn in. Overall steering response is HORRENDOUS. I can rate them highly for low noise, comfort and overall grip. But if you value razor sharp in and responsiveness, DO NOT BUY these tires, i recommend sticking with potenza series tires or PZeros. AamirCWITR @ Honda-tech.com."
