1) I would recommend using a 205/60/15 for the spring summer and fall. The wider tire would offer slightly better traction and handling.
2) I would rate the three tires you have listed in the following order. The RE950 will offer the best over all levels of ride quality and performance out of the three tires. The G009 is similar in dry and wet traction but it tends to slightly more road noise and not as good snow traction. The Michelin XGT4 is an older tread design and in my opinion is very similar to the G009 but more expensive.
205/60R15 BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE950 -- 83.00
205/60R15 BRIDGESTONE POTENZA G009 -- 61.00
205/60R15 MICHELIN PILOT XGT H4 -- 89.00

P205/60R16 Kumho ECSTA HP4 716 -- 51.00
This is a low cost tire that will give you between 35-40,000 miles. The handling is OK but not considered performance oriented.
205/60R16 Bridgestone Potenza G009 -- 67.00
This tire will offer a better ride quality as well as better traction and handling. They are rated at 50,000 miles so they will also last longer.

1. 205/70/15 Bridgestone Turanza LS-T -- 73.00
2. 205/70/15 Michelin Harmony -- 89.00
3. 205/70/15 Goodyear Assurance Comfortread -- 77.00
The LS-T would offer the best over all ride quality and comfort level as well as a long tread life.

I have a bone stock '04 WRX wagon and I autocrossed it last year on the stock rims and RE92's. I am looking to upgrade to a competition level "R" tire and would like your recommendations.
I am considering the "Sport Edition D5" rims size 16x7 w/50mm offset. These rims seem like an exceptional value w/ relatively low weight and costing only $89.00. What do you think? Are there better choices close to that price point?
After getting tire feedback from others in the stock classes, Kumho seems to be the way to go. I am considering the V710, Victoracer, and the Ecsta V700. First, will the 225/50 R16 size of each of these tires fit the D5 rims?. Is that indeed the best size tire for the rims? Is it possible to go wider or lower profile on the 16/7's. I don't care about keeping the speedometer straight, this will be a track only set-up. Also, assuming that I get the V700's & the Victoracers shaved and all of the three heat-cycled, what would be the major differences in the handling and wear?
Also, I am considering a brake pad upgrade as well, I would like to be able to take advantage of my new footprint. Any recommendations there? I do want to improve performance over the OEM pads but since this car is my daily driver, I need them to have some longevity as well.
Thanks for your input,
Don
What do you think of substituting the 185/60's? Is this an acceptable substitute?
Also, how do I arrange for pickup of tires/wheels at South Bend i/o shipment?

P265/70 R16 M&S 111S
These are by Kelly-Springfield, a subsidiary of Goodyear.
My owners manual shows these possible sizes:
P245/70R16
P265/70R16
P265/65R17
I don't know which of these I would like the best. But, I guess I wouldn't want the smaller P245. And I guess I wouldn't want to invest in 17-inch wheels. So, I guess I'd want the only remaining choice -- the same size that I have now: P265/70R16 Does this seem right to you?
Thanks
I recently purchased Pirelli STR-A tires for my 2002 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 LE. I used the original size 245/65/17. I have found that the tires cause vibration (especially in the steering wheel) around 60-65 mph. I have had all 4 tires balanced and this did not eliminate the vibration. I had the installer replace all 4 tires with new ones, and still the vibration exists. Do you have any recommendations or knowledge about some incompatibility issues with Pirelli and my Pathfinder? Are the Pirellis such a harder tire that I am just getting incredible road feedback? Any information would help. Thanks!
Due to the amount of information you are requesting i would need you to give me a call.

You have an 15X7" wheel. If you lay the wheel on its face and lay a straight edge across the wheel lip then measure from the straight edge to the mounting face inside the wheel. The distance that you measured is the "back spacing." For example purposes we will say the back spacing is 4.25". if you figure the centerline of the wheel is at 3.5" (7" wide divided in half) if you subtract the center line amount from the back spacing (4.25" - 3.5" = .75"). Your offset is .75". to find this in Millimeters simply multiply .75" by 25.4 and you result is 19.1mm.

I visited the TR site looking for 16" forged wheels for the Chevy Malibu, and while I found a number of wheels, their descriptions did not identify them as forged or not.
Any quick suggestions for non-chromed _forged_ wheels?
Also, how does this process work. I order... and the tires are shipped to my address or can they be shipped to the tire store I'm having put them on? The shipping charges are a lot more reasonable than I thought they would be. Thanks.
89 vs 91? - thx
I'm wondering if you have an opinion on the Turanza EL-400 tire. This appears to be a new tire and would like to know if you have evaluated it yet?
I've done a fair bit of online research and have arrived at two potential choices:
- Pirelli PZeroNero M+S (225/55R16 -- not available in 225/60R16)
- Goodyear TripleTred (225/60R16)
My priorities for the new tires are (in order) quietness, comfort, handling, and decent performance in snow. I would prefer to leave the new tires on all year round instead of installing the snows in the winter.
Questions:
- Will either of these tires give me what I'm looking for?
- Can I use the 225/55R16 Pirelli safely, and what if any consequences are there in deviating from original size 225/60R16? If it matters, the car has a navigation system.
- Given my objectives, which of these two tires do you recommend for me, or is there another that you'd suggest instead?
Many thanks,
Marc

I have a MB C240 and needs replacement tire. As I live in NJ, I want to have all-season tires to avoid replacing them with winter tires when winter comes. Is there anything that you can recommend ? I did some research and sort of narrow down my choices to these 2, but I am not really sure and I want to make the right choices. Please advise.
1) Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
2) Yokohama Avid V4S
Thanks,
ET
thx in advance for your info,

[1] Tires fitted with 18- or 17-in. wheels are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may be substantially less than 20,000 miles (GS 300) or 15,000 (GS 430), depending on driving conditions.
Is that true? I would have thought the bigger the tire, the more miles before it wore out as it doesn't turn as many times as a smaller tire. Confused..... :confuse:
BTW, thanks Tire Rack for the good deal on my Goodyear Assurance Triple tread tires! They are great tires!

Occasionally I get it at lower speeds on one other road 45 thru 55 MPH and it is driving me crazy and prolly not doing the front end any good.
I have matched Michelins up front and would be willing to replace 2 tires to cure this . When I had one of the back tires (The original and only Pirelli) on the front with one michelin it was hardly noticeable . Could it be the wheel .
It was balanced in front of my eyes but what do I know ?
Driving me nuts
Thx PGP

I mostly use my 4WD in the winter time to be able to gettin up and down my steep driveway; it is not something that is used all the time. I need 265-65-16 tires, which can be pretty spendy and I really don't want to replace all 4 if it is not absolutely necessary. The front 2 tires are still in very good condition.
