any opinions on these tires? good bad, ugly ? lookin' at 205/60/14's for my '85 GSL-SE. anybody recomend any other tires of that size? mix of hwy/city driving, i don't race but i don't drive like a granny either.

 

yokohomo avs intermediate. if you're going to get stick then get the best stick.

 

I'd go with Toyo! But then again, Yokohama is my favorite...

 

Nice tires! Except they have been DISCONTINUED. There are only a few left and then they are never going to be produced again.

 

i have Yokohama's on now (5 years old!!) the 509's i think. also discontinued here. Does Yokohama make anything to replace them ? (in that size? )

 

That tire is not being replaced as far as I know. Its very popular with the Miata guys because its one of the only V rated tires in those sizes. I would NOT use Dunlop Sport A2's. I would have to look and see what tires are available in the size you want before I could recommend one. There are many many great tires but very few in the smaller sizes you probably need. Whats the Size range?

 

i'm just interested in 205/60/14, which is part of the problem i guess. i have to do the suspension very soon (springs/shocks) and maybe the brakes too so i don't really want to be looking at wheels. i really need new tires though so that's 1st on the list.

 

Hey man, what's up?
I have Dunlop Sp Sport A2 on my car.
My review? The sidewalls are too soft. Feels like you are driving on jelly. I had to pump the tire up to 38psi to get it marginally acceptable. It's nothing like the Michellin VR-4 and Yoko A008RS I have/had before. However, hey are very good in the wet and snow. It's more of a weather tire.

If you are looking for ride quality and a weather tire, get this. Else get something else.

I am going to try the Kumho MX or Falken FK-451

 

thanks, 'jelly'....that's all i need to hear to say NEXT to those!!

i guess u guys have been meetin regular like since the 'Aurora' meet so long ago.... i'll have to try and make it out again! i've either been too busy or out of town any time i see a meet happening, oh well maybe in the summer if i get some time off!!

 

I don't know how good they are, but Falken ZE-502 tires come in that size, too.

wow, those Falken's are sweet looking tires!! i couldn't find any sites listing my size though 205/60/14. checked tirerack,discount tire direct,and a couple local CDN sites. i guess i'll call around, anyone have any experience with those tires ??
