205/60/15 Falken Zeixs. They grip pretty well. Good for when it rains. I had trouble kicking out the end in the rain.

195/60/14 Falken Azenis
Great dry weather tire, grip very well. Not very bad in the rain, but you do have to be careful.

my car came with bridgestone potanza re930i these were good tires they lasted for over 32,000 miles of spireted driving

they did alright in the snow even

now i have a set of bridgestone RE92 on the rear these tires have been good so far more grip then the goodyears i moved to the front

the goodyears that i got out of a junkyard for 30 bucks and have plenty of tread left on them the goodyears are a little iffy in the rain but i am hoping they will do well in the snow now that the snow is about to hit I will leave them up front and put on a set of studded snow tires on the rear that i picked up off ebay

all tire sizes have / are 195/60/R15

what are you looking for in a tire? tread wear/life? price? grip/performance? I think it really depends on what you're going to use the tire for.

For performance driving - Falken Azenis ST-115 and Falken Azenis Sport RT215.

All around daily driving - Falken Ziex 512's are good.

As you can see, I like the Falken's. There are other great tires out in the market but I really think for the money, Falken would be great.
