Another vote here for the Falken Azenis RT615's.
Best tyre I've ever had on the 5, and I've had a few.

The Michellin Pilot Precedas are also pretty good and make the car feel very lively.

Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07!

You will have no regret with these tyres..... for street use, for some cruising.... wet or dry..... great grip... less noise.... n easy ride.... they will never make u disappointed..... i had them on my NB for 3 months.... just loving it day by day.....

Just one down side of AD07.... soft compound tyres = not long lasting... woren out pretty quickly.... Otherwise, ALL GOOD!!!

I had these on my GT-R in 255/40/14. THE BEST tyre I have ever had. Also very good on the race track, basically a semi-race tyre made for the street. However they are very hard to find here in Oz, usually special order.

More info here and can also be ordered from this site:

If you want/need new tyres I suggest you buy them before June 30th as all prices will go up guaranteed.

I picked up a set of Adrenalin RE001's today for $100 each in a 195/50/15. Can't beat that for value for money! Price was tyres only, not fitted.

Slightly Off Topic...
Does anyone have any recommendations for a passenger tyre?
Mum n Dads current model Civic needs new shoes soon

Looking for something with special focus on long life and comfort... not too fussed about road noise or outright grip but must be surefooted ... they gotta look after mumsy and dadsy after all... say around $150 a boot?

Any help would be appreciated!

They are for 15\" rjastra... profile... looking for stock one I guess (quickly checks the tyre placard)
Dad may want to get some alloys as well so may bump up to 16\"... so something in the 195 - 205? 60ish profile?

Hehe... C drives... then mum and dads car will have the same tyres as mine... :oops:
It may very well come down to that... but was just thinking if Adrenalines are becoming so cheap I'm sure something much less sporting would be even cheaper?

I ended up getting the 185/60/14 Yokahama Advan O32R Semi slicks. I figured i will see how it goes without the expence of getting 15\" wheels anf tyres. Thanks for your help anyway.

For anyone interested I just picked up a set of RE'001's for $139 each fitted and balanced at The Tyre Factory In Bayswater. So far so good. Not much rain about to see how they go in the wet. OK so far in the dry with good grip. :D
