    Tires

    Well I finally ordered my rims...i'm trying to pick a set of tires...right now i'm on gtz rims with Hydroedges..I totally love the rain performance they grip awesome..but its not a performance tire...sooooooo I'm upsizing to 225/45-17 on 17x8 wheels..I really want near or equal rain performance...summer rain in miami is pretty bad sometimes and this is a Daily Driver

    so I've come up with these

    Goodyear Eagle GT
    Bridgestone Potenza G 019
    Yokohama AVID H4S
    Dunlop SP Sport Signature

    Any tips..experiences..recommendations are appreciated!

    Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S is my recommendation.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    I have the goodyear eagle GT's, they handle great and are a very reasonable price. The Audi A4 has Eagle F1's if your willing to pay a little more the F1's are amazing I have never had any problems flying around corners in the audi with those tires.

    Thats what drew me to eagle gt's ..price and alot of positive feedback..the others have pretty decent rating and price...I saw the F1's but there was a lot negatives because of noise after 5k and didn't wear well..

    Goodyear Eagle are pretty decent tires...they provide all around grip in wet and dry conditions. I got these tires on the Endeavor and I like them and would by another set and the wear pretty well too!

    Bridgestones Potenzas are nice tires...road noise is reduced alot and dry traction is good, but kinda suck in wet conditions. So far they wear pretty good.

    Dunlops are nice tires...road noise is about the same as Goodyears, but IMO, provide better traction in wet and dry conditions. Not sure about the SP's..I am basing my opinion on Dunlop Direzza Sports on my GVR4

    Goodyear Eagle GT. The other three are no comparison.

    I had a set of the Eagle GT's put on my car today. It has the stock 16 inch wheels. So far I am very impressed. The previous tires were the Goodyear RS-A's. They would squeal like crazy on any kind of fast turn. With the GT's the ride is a bit firmer, which is good, and I get no squealing in turns even when taking a bit fast. Now I need to add the Addco rear sway bar to get rid of some of the body lean.
