Default Tire recommendation

D.C. is a place that get's all types of weather- hot, cold, mild, freezing, close to zero temps... With that said, I'm looking for the best all around tires to fit my MY05 oem rims.

So far, I've heard that the stock tire is the best tire...but ughh well let me see what you guys think.

I also want to go a little beefer on the tires... something to give it that wider appeal- if you have pic's please post them.


Thanks in advance team,

really if you live northern east coast, you need either two cars, or two sets of tires.

a set of all season/sport tires and a set or wintery tires, cause unless you are packing 4x4 or AWD, you will need snow tires if you want to go anywhere between dec and feb. but you must know that by now.

Dunlop Direzzas Star Specs? < im going to try these for my back tires.

I have absolutely no complaints with Eagle F1s. They are hands down the BEST tires I have ever drove on. (on my camaro)

REO50 Pole Position...Same as REO50 in dry traction but has much better wet traction and last twice as long. My next tires are gonna be either REO70's or REO1R's.

I have 225/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 on the rear(both on Stock rims). I would've liked to stay with 215's in the front and have that extra little meat on the rear but the Pole Positions don't have that size available. My next front tires are gonna be 215's in the front. 225's in my opinion induce too much understeer...have to play around with the air pressure to get the car to handle more neutral.

I'd also like to increase the rear to possibly 275-285 width tires but that won't be possible without some aftermarket rims(17 x 10's, 275-285 width tires which wound be perfect). Then I would have to stay with 225's in the front.
