Will need some new tires to replace the stock potenzas p's. I was thinking about toyo proxes t1-s, have had good luck with them on fwd cars. Any sugesstions on on other options that are sticky and have better wear than the proxes?

I just put pirelli p zero nero's on my 16's. Night and day difference, and I think they only cost $100 at discount tire.

It depends on what you're using them for, can you give us a bit more information? Rain, snow, cold, hot, daily driver, weekend car, small wallet, deep pockets?

I just put on some Avon M500's from TireRack.com and love them!

The Tire & Wheel forum will probably have more/better advice...

I really need summer tires will never drive in snow. I hear aobut the p zero nero and proxes 4 from folks with stock wrx suspension. I have had experience with proxes t1-s on boosted civic and loved them, unreal handling comming out of falkens. But they are $$ and wear in 12k mi. I am new to 4x4 and was wondering if a summer tire or all season, ie..proxes 4 or p zeros, is better for aggressive cornering without tons of noise. My budget is $550. Any advice appreicated, thanks.

Any tire will be a lot better than the stock RE-92s. If you truely don't need any snow capability then get a nice summer 225/50-16 mounted to your stock wheels.

I just got some Yokahama AVS ES 100's and I love them. So much more grip than the RE92's. I got them a little wider than the stocks, 225/50 vs 205/55 and the car is just more sure footed. I know alot of people recommend all types of tires. Just know that any performance rated tires will be better than what you currently have.

How wide can you go on the stock rims??

225/50-16

I use the Proxes 4 for my summer tires. They will probably better than the t1-s in the rain and last longer. They handle awsome in my opinion.

will check out both proxes 4 and t1s in the plus width size and stock. also will compare the perelli zero neros. thanks for advice. these RE 92's will probably wear in like 5-8 more grand. Can't wait!

wrong place.. matter of fact wrong thread.. del

I use the Proxes 4 for my summer tires. They will probably better than the t1-s in the rain and last longer. They handle awsome in my opinion.The Proxes 4 is not as grippy in the rain or the wet as the T1-S. I've had both, and driven them both to the limit on wet surfaces. The difference on wet roads is actually more noticable than the difference between them in the dry.

I can't say which is more resistant to hydroplaning, as I haven't done much deep water driving on either. I have Proxes 4's on the car now. They are an excellent alternative to the T1-S, especially for those drivers who don't intend to extract the last 5% of the grip offered by the T1-S. You'd be very hard pressed to tell the difference between these two tires from the driver's seat, until you're cornering at above ~.7g or so. That said, as you approach the limit, the T1-S feels better and more responsive. Both slide in a controlled and predictable manner.

My own testing indicates only .02g difference in ultimate grip between these two tires. Cost per mile (price ÷ miles of use) of the Proxes 4 is 50-60% that of the T1-S. Since I can't usually use that last .02g on the street, I've chosen the Proxes 4, with a set of Azenis Sports on the stock wheels for "recreation".
