Yeah Im sorry. I just really wanted opinions.

specs:s13 (SR: currently BPU but would like tires that can handle 250 whp)Z32 brakes (front and rear)z32 wheels (16/7.5 I believe)megan coilovers (street)Spl tie rod endsREAR RUCA and links (megan)HLSD

If there are any fitment issues with those tires I will flare the fenders. (I highly doubt that there will be)

I dont care about wet performance. I want something that will last (longer than R compound

sizes:I would prefer the widest tires possible without seriously affecting cornering performance.

the sizes that I am considering aare 225-245/50-45/16

staggered:For simplicity (not for rotational purposes) I was going to go with all 4 the same width. I know that there are some possible handling benefits with staggered set ups, but I assume the difference in handling characteristics between 225/245 (f/r) and 245/245 is smaller than the difference between 35 and 40 psi in the tires.

Possible candidates so far:

Yok. Avs ES100 (****ty wet, wears fast, great dry)potenza RE750Sumitumo HTRZ (havent heard anything about these)Avon Tech m500 (" or these)

and of course fuzions and gforce sports

any recommendations anything to add to the list?

let me know!!

I am running 275/40/17 rear and 245/40/17 front (Falken Azeinas) and the car corners like it is on rails. But the wheels are 17x8 front and 17x9 rear.
