ventus: out of the question, they suck!yokohama parada: not worth the money, decent rubber though.I havent experienced the nitto or goodyears, but i strongly, strongly suggest FALKEN tires, once again falken tires are always over looked. I will never buy another tire beside them, i have the falken beta fk's (not exactly sure the right name) 205/40/17 on my rims, they grip like CRAZY and have looooong tread life.

My brother has Paradas, good rubber and good grip, lots of money though, he got those tires last summer and now they are getting pretty bald. My cousin has used the Nitto 450s and my brother is going to get them, they have very, very long tread life and are pretty good. Dont go with the Eagle F1 because the Goodyear company and its reps and mechanics suck, we were trying to get emmissions done, some of the things we knew my brother wouldnt pass, but anywayz, long story short, they were very wrong and tried to jip us and if we didnt fight back, they wouldve taken his 40 dollars, nobody should ever go to Goodyear, they suck as a company and so do those people that work there, I would go with the Nittos though.

Falken rules. The Azenis are available in 205-40/16 not much different than the 45 series.

the nitto will be better in overall grip more than likely, but they tend to roll "funny" from the factory. the falked will give you bettter all-season capability.

your choice.-chet

If you care about the cornering stability then Don't even think about Nitto. Yeap they are sticky and great for drag type of race.

For cornering stability, Falken Azenis, Ziex 502, Toyo Proxy are all good, BS S02,03 are good choise too.

USDM 240SX SE came with 205/60/15, so is JDM Silvia and 180SX.that is definitely a right size.

oh, bsed model came with 195/60/15 which is about 1.2 cm or 1/2" inch samller in diameter.

no man go w/ the falkens! and i doubt they will be out lasted by the yokohamas. ive had mine on for about 9-10k miles w/ camber issues and they still have about 40percent tread left.
