highwaydrifter Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Proxies = crap compared to Nokian WR's same goes for the conti's Of course it depends on where you live.. but if you see lots of rain and some decent snow the WR's are the shizzz No joke.. Now if you live in florida.. you could go with a more "summerish" all seasons tire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedalus Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I've had really bad issues with Contis (not sure if they were they same model) in the past. They would constantly go out of balance (and re-balancing them was a bitch) and one developed a bulge in its sidewall. I've read that people have had similar experiences and would not recommend them.

camber Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I've got Michelin Pilot Exaltos A/S. They're the best all season tires I've had for any of my vehicles. Provide excellent traction for a AS in snow, wet and probably some of the best dry handling for a multipurpose tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 OFF TOPIC: whats the widest tire to fit stock rim? ( too lazy to search right now) Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I considered them, but they were so expensive. Plus couldnt get them in stock size. get the Exaltos, they are the more affordable tire that is very comparable to the Pilot Sports A/S Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 OFF TOPIC: whats the widest tire to fit stock rim? ( too lazy to search right now) it's all listed on my FAQ you can go as wide as a 235/45/17... but why are asking? Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 it's all listed on my FAQ you can go as wide as a 235/45/17... but why are asking? I would like a wider tire to fill up the wheel well a little more. So it's not so tucked in. Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I would like a wider tire to fill up the wheel well a little more. So it's not so tucked in. oh, you want wheel well filling? just get a taller tire.. as for the tucked in look, get spacers.. like 10mm spacers, that'll work.

imperator Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Proxies = crap compared to Nokian WR's same goes for the conti's ur trippin bra review I found: But, like every compromise, there has to be a drawback. And with the WR, that sacrifice is made in dry weather performance. Don't get me wrong: they are perfectly acceptable in all summer driving conditions, but if you're one who places precise handling and accurate, high-speed stability at the top of your list, the WRs will disappoint... throw a fast corner or quick zig-zag into the mix, and the lack of precision makes itself evident. There's a floaty, disconnected feeling that will have performance fiends cringing. But it's those same fanatics that don't see a problem with owning two sets of tires. Pretty much typical of what I've seen in reviews for this tire. I can't really find anything positive about the dry handling performance. It doesn't snow all the time. Plus, aren't they H-rated? Boo hiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
