Recommoneded Tires?

What tire size do you recommend that would look the best on these wheels? I'm not a big tire guy. they're 16x7 +35. Looking to get R compound tires or other tires that will be able to get me as much traction as possible I'm open to options!

what do you plan on doing just want a driving tire? or you gunna hit the track with these tires?...

With size go talk to shawn at fountain tire he will set you up with a good fitment of tire for those rims

depending how low you wanna be and stretch look or strait side wall look

not hitting the track. Just looking for a nice stance. But ill need as much traction as possible..

ummm well if i were you i would get a decent sized side wall if your going to do a stretched tire cause sask roads arent to nice on those lips... it all depends on what kinda look your looking for

I have a set of 205/40r16 Nitto Neo-gen's I just have to check price.

hahahahaa

16x7 +35? Is this for one of your Civics? I don't fully understand the question. If you just want a nice grippy tire,Falken RT615 is a great all around street tire (wear rate vs. grip vs. price). For a Civic it would be 205/40-16 on that wheel.

There is no point to stretch rubber on that wheel in that size and offset, because a normal size tire will fit fine.



You could probably fit a 215/40-16 if you want something a bit meater.

I was actually looking at those Falken tires, or BFGoodrich g-Force tires. Going to go with 205/40/16 possibly even 205/45/16. and yeah they're for my ek

BFG makes awesome tires, I've loved every set I've ever had. Falken is just very competitive price wise. I mean probably a good 30-40% cheaper then a similar BFG tire. Unless you can score BFG's on a good sale.

KDWs are going to be NOISEY. and if you do any sort of highway driving, its going to get annoying.

These tires are unreal... there on my front of my skyline... they have serious grip and take a shit kicking

how come 40's, personally I like a bigger profile, makes the ride quality a little better, i'd go with atleast 45's but thats just me.

mine are 215 45 17 good sized sidewall

Actually your right, I was thinking EG Civic. 205/40-16 is the right size for a EG model. The EK used a slightly taller tire. So a 205/45-16 would be correct (and actually it's still a touch too short). Falken doesn't make the RT615 in 205/45-16, but they do in a 215/45-16 which would also fit a EK civic just fine.

The BFG KDW does come in 205/45-16



Another really good tire is the Kumho Ecsta XS, but like the Falken the closest size it comes in 215/45-16

16's on a EG! NO WAY! lol, I would never run 16's, too tall for my liking but people who track their EG's recommend them.

Nice wheels.

If you want to make them wider (Hellafrush Please!), BFI (Black Forest Industries) sells different outside rim halves for BBS RS/RM.

^ your the man, ill defiantly keep that in mind, when i have some money to play around with.

I rock ad07 Awesome tire and can only imagine the AD08 are even better. retardly priced though. I like my BFG for an all round good tire. mine make no noise and I love them.

If I was to do it again Dizzera star specs or the hankook v12 both are well priced and rated as some of the best tires. The azenis are cheap for what they are and how sticky of a tire they are but I havn't heard alot of good about them spouses to get greasy easy.

yeah, i'm still debating about gettin these BFG tires or Toyo Proxes T1R Tires
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT Tires 205/45/16

Toyo Proxes T1R Tires 205/40/16

semi-true.

The Azenis are a better street tire then probably every other tire you mentioned. They warm up fast and work very well at normal temps (better then most other tires in their class). Imagine your just driving along and decide to have some fun, you can trust them in that situation. They grip very well without having to be very hot at all. For that reason they also very popular for Auto-X guys.

Now if you take them to a road course they tend to overheat and get greasy. They are not to be treated as DOT race tires, they are not. They are a street tire designed to work in around street temps. You would never overheat them on the street without being arrested or heavily fined first.

just what I have read no real experience with them. Lots of people even at auto-x say they still get greasy and don't like them

They must live somewhere really hot. What's an Auto-X lap. like 45seconds to a minute and half of first and 2nd gear action?

Well it could be, and I've also heard that before, but overall they are brilliant street tires!
