Tires Falken or DUNLOP

My 09 Lux only has about 6000 miles but when I bought it I expected to replace the OE tires right away. I had done my homework and came up with the Dunlop SP Sport Signature as the best bet, at a good price too.

the dz 101's are a good tire i had them pretty grippy and still good int e wet too

I run Dunlop SP Sport Maxx and they are excellent in the rain.

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 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 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.

Have you considered a 205-40-17 Falken 512? It's a crappy tire, but it stretches well.

I've got this issue myself. I believe my problem is that my tires are out of round. If I spin them on the car it is plainly obvious. They've been that way since new. Dunlops from tire rack.
