Tires Falken or BRIDGESTONE

My RE50s were also loud at 16K. I replaced them with Falken Ziex RE 912s at 20k and they are very quiet.

Well Evan Tire of San Diego did a remarkable job. They'd installed a new left tie rod, 2 Falkine 912 tires and performed a wheel alignment. I took it for atest drive then hit the highway. I love the feel of the car now. Lowered cener of gravity, steering response is a bit more accurate with less body roll.

I have got the Bridgestone RE960A/S and they are just a good all around tire. I have put more than 30k miles on them and have only one complaint...some noise. That is it. They handle great in the dry, wet, and even snow here in Michigan. They also wear great.

I have 225/40/18 912's on my 18x8.5 and they stretch enough to clear my fenders. And I am pretty low. They are very quiet and are very good in the rain. I can take puddles at normal highway speeds and not even feel it. I have had them for about 10k miles and I have noticed little if any tire wear.

i think it's possible to find smaller than 205/40 but not easily or cheaply.. i think you can get 195/45. however the falken 512 (which you can now only get from discount tire on ebay) is much smaller than most 205/40's. it's what i run on my mk3 and they are much smaller than the set they replaced.

The RE-01R's are on a massive sale right now, as the replacement will be coming soon.

The tires are 205/40/16 Falken Azenis RT-615. The wheel adapters/spacers were purchased on here from Vtec-This-Vr, and are excellent quality. There is no rubbing and the car handles perfectly.

I have them on my E30. They're a fantastic tire in ALL conditions but heavy snow. Great in the dry, great in the wet, wear better than 512s did, fairly quiet for what they are. They're even passably ok in plowed/packed snow on traveled roads. They're slow to get going from a stop, but once you're moving they're very predictable and easy to drive with.

I wasn't thrilled to see the OEM tire choice is yet again the marginal Bridgestone RE92, but they seem to do the job without being noisy. I have a feeling a set of dry-pavement UHP tires (RE730, S-03, etc) would make a good thing even better.

i have the bridgestone potenza RE050A's.. came on my huffs stock...i need new ones on the front allready! with a 140 treadware rating they burn down quick!
