Tire suggestion

So I need to pick up tires for the Konig Remembers and can't decide on what type of tires to get. The car is only for street use so having good traction in dry and wet conditions is very important. They also have to be 205/45/16.

Any suggestions??

If you're looking for a summer based tire the B-Stone RE760 and Conti DW are great choices. You'll get a bit longer life out of the 760, DW's will have better dry traction/steering response.

That's too bad.
I'll still be placing an order with you guys within the next few days. Why change a winning formula?

well I'm not looking for a summer base tire because usually I run my summer wheels until about mid if not late october so I don't want to get into an accident if we get a sudden snowstorm in that month.

Neal can you PM me a price for maybe some all season 205/45/16 tires to 01905. THanks

falkens are pretty sweet and really good grippy tires, but expensive

^??? I hope you don't mean RT-615s. I've heard pretty good things about the Hankook Ventus Evo blah-blah (they have a really long name). Though I don't know that I'd recommend them for a freak early MA winter storm.

^ yeah thats why I didn't want a summer specific tire just in case there happens to be an early october storm.

I was looking at the nitto neo gen and some kumho's that I had before but I can't remember the name of them. I liked the way they handled in the wet surfaces.

What's wrong with that tire? That's what I have on my Honda and I couldn't be happier.

lol it's too easy to say "they gave me so many issues" and not state any of them.
