Well sybir was saying no wider than 215 on a GM. I have a 1999 2.5RS

 

the NT-450's I had fit just fine on my Rotas even though they were 215. I think it should be the same for any other brand tire the same size.

 

i've had bad luck with falkens. my set wore out in 20k miles. the yokohama's have a treadlife in the 500's.

 

20k miles would last me years. probably like 10! As far as the tires, I have 99 OBS and am running 225/45 17s w/o any rubbing!

 

Oh really? Well what do you mean by 500's? Not 500k I'm sure.

 

the treadlife is in the 500s. its a measurement of how long the tire will last compared to some standard (I think R compounds) so 100 would be them, 200 would be twice life etc. Checkthe sticky in the tires and wheels section. Tirerack explains it all

 

my falkens that lasted about 20k miles had a treadlife of 200. I'm hoping to get close to 40k+ miles out of the Yokohama's.

 

Maybe I will go with Yokohama, I've heard more bad things about Falken than Yokohama from people

 

Hmm, jimt seems like he's having a good experience w/ the Falkens https://www.i-club.com/forums/wheel-tire-59/falken-azenis-st-115-vs-xiex-ze-512-a-64385/

"I have been running with the ZE-512 since December. I have put 20k miles on them. They are still like new. I commute 146 miles a day through some very curvy hills and mountains. Rain and snow, awesome tire."

 

I love my p7000's, they are kinda pricey, but they grip real well in the dry and rain, I also had no problem driving through several inches of snow either.

 

500 is the treadlife.
yok es100 are good. im running those on my car and they grip great in the wet and dry

 

I just bought a set of PZero Nero M&S. They are rated the highest in the all season category at tire rack and I've heard great things about them from my good friend Daredevil. I get them mounted in a few days, so we'll see how they are

 

Gosh I can't even decide, I'm gonna have about $430 bux from insurance to spend so I'll need something in that price range.

 

Continental Extreme Contacts. Good tire, have them on my wife's wagon in 215/45/17. Mean looking sidewall too.

 

I've narrowed my search down to the top three below.
