Im running with Nitto Neo~Gens 225/25/ZR17 and if you love grip these tires are for you. They work well under different weather conditions such as rain and snow (slippery surfaces) To be honest i really do miss the stock 205/60/15 those were great for drifting...grip driving isn't me the 225's would be great if you had alot of power unfortunately im only running with a slightly modded KA24E so there's my two cents
