General Tire Discussion Thread, since I didn't see one already.

...does a WRX really use something as thin as a 205?

>>17295943
I run the hankooks you mentioned at 195//205 and honestly pretty nice
kumhos gave me shit grip but when it lost it did it slowly

>>17295957
Its a older bugeye

What surprises me more are the thin wheels, 16x6.5s. After 2009 they got 17x8s (but those look butt ugly).

Does anyone know of a good multi directional tire in 185/60R14s?

The only sort of performance ones I can find are dunlops and while those are nice, I'd like to be able to rotate them side to side and not just front to back

I can speak from first hand experience that the Ecsta 4X's and the Ventus V12's are both very bad tires trying to hit far above their weight.
Firecock Indy's are literally redneck memes and Riken is off shore garbage.

If you're going to choose "Reasonably priced" then those medicore to bad tires are really your options. It doesn't matter what you get, since you sound like you're an idiot, just get the highest treadwear, the 4X's. I'm sure you'll appreciate the new shitty tires over your old bald ones. But that grip will fade quickly over a few months.

>>17295943
between those, I'd go with the Firestones.
But given their history, I'd be looking at Goodyear, Dunlop, or Michelin instead.
Why not Goodyear Eagle F1's?
Dunlop Signature HP's?
Michelin Pilot Sport's?

In need of tires too. Currently Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 on a first gen CTS-V. P245/45ZR18

I have never had a summer tire, only all seasons. Will going summer tires be a whole lot different? Other alternatives to Pilot Super Sports appreciated.

>Will going summer tires be a whole lot different?
Yeah, you'll wear them out in the blink of an eye, and you'll do hektik skids in the wet and the cold.
If you're dding there's no reason to get summers imo.

>>17296060
your tires are over inflated senpai. see the uneven tread wear in the center?

If you live somewhere where it does both of the following:
>drops under 50 F for extended periods of time
>snows/rains while under 50 F

and you DD the car, don't commit to just summers. If you want to do summers, get summers and winters.

If you don't want to commit to that, just get all seasons. Most of the time they're good enough, unless you're tracking the car, or trying to climb an icy mountain, at which point you should be running dedicated summer/winters anyways.

>EVERYTHING YOU MENTIONED IS SHIT BUT IM NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU ANY NON SHITTY ALTERNATIVES BECAUSE I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT

How do you have any traction

>>17296083
You don't have to be God to suggest some alternatives as opposed to just saying everything is shit

>>17296088
>Get the highest treadwear
I already gave your my advice for a normie.

>>17296069

>>17296066

Anyone else running the wholeyear crossclime tyres from michelin? I got mine on couple weeks ago instead of summer, and i quite like them. Nothing to complain about really.

Get bfgoodrich gforce sport comp-2s, they're only around $80/each in 205/55/16. I have them on my outback xt and they're phenomenal for the price.
