Hey all,

Jus wanted to know which tires perform best under rainy conditions...

Plz enlighten!

 

www.tirerack.com does all sorts of tests so you can compare.

 

Dangit! it didnt pull up my poll questions...

okok:

1.) Toyo Proxes
2.) FALKEN ZIEX
3.) FALKEN GR BETA 451
4.) Yokohama Parada Spec 2
5.) Sumitomo HTR 200

Please help me out... My pirellis that came with my S14 fookin hydroplanes everytime it rains.

 

My 225/45/17 Falken Azenis tires suck in the rain.

 

Im prolly gonna go slap some Toyo Proxies... they seem to wrk fine for my friends S14a.... Might as well try my luck there

 

The Sumitomo HTR+ is YOUR best bet. I KNOW You did not have that as a choice
Yet That will outperform Any of the ABOVE. IF you are running 15's, then 200's it is.

 

Im running the 16 SE 5 spoke rims... sumitomos out perform Toyos?

 

For what your Asking, they do. IF you are in So Cal, then You want as much stick as you can for the heat, yet cut for the Rain slick road. In Nor Cal, bay area, the Humidity comes into play and the Sumi's will cut to find grab on the cement streets.
In Sac and North, the dry roads with all the small rocks will chew the Toyo's up. NOW, they ARE an Excellent tire,yet when you can match or better the traction and moving grip for DOLLARS less...
Go Look at BOTH in person... AND feel the rubber at the shoulders and center..

 

I just ordered some Sumitomo HTR+ 205/40-16 cuz of the great ratings from Tirerack.com I hope there as good as everyones saying.

 

They ARE.. I have them on my Show/Track Car and would do not better with Yoko's...
I can VOUGE to the sticky... It took me 12.4 Hrs to go from Stockton, Cal to Marysville WA.. This was with stopping for gas AND 2 10 min. breaks. I kept between 70 and 75 even on turns..
Thats How I did the time.. The Tires worked the WHOLE suspension just great..

 

Thnx for info Spec.... I was about to order them, but I jus got a friggin ticket!!!! STUPID PIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! always there when u dun need em, but never around when do! I guess Krispy Creme donuts sold out before that piggy got there....
