I know there are many threads talking about "the best size and brand tires for OEM rims". I did a search but you came up alot of junks....

Bottom line is that I need new tires (Rears are the must, maybe the front also).


Can someone just kindly tell me what is the best size and brand tires for our OEM rims???

I don't really do tracks (maybe later in the future), but I do want something handle nicely and not too bad in rain.....(I think S02 is bad in bad weather).


PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

 

go to www.tirerack.com and they have the size of the S2k's tires.

 

This is a good question, but I think there is no tested and verified answer based on the threads I have seen. Someone needs to do a comprehensive test. The Tire Rack web site has several comparison tests of other tires against the S02 which show the S02 doing as well or better than the competition in the wet.

Most people say the s03 is better in the wet, but Tire Rack sticks by the S02 rcommendation (at least when I called they did).

I just bought my car new so I am not worried about this yet. When I was looking there were a couple of used cars to choose from that had different tires on them so I researched the issue pretty thoroughly. I found no tested proof of the S02 being bad in the rain, but a lot of anecdotal complaints.

 

and brand...

I think they only give you the "recommend" size.. I want something wider than stock.. handle better...

 

Stick to Bridgestone S02s the for best grip and for all weather like rain go with S03s...I prefer the S02s they are the best for all out grip if you want something wider tires get wider bigger rims
