Tire Suggestions for 09 ES?
 

Hi all, I'm looking to replace all 4 of my tires. I currently still have the stock ES tires, and I've been happy with them, but they are nearing the 50,000 mile mark and are quite worn down. I'm looking to upgrade and maybe getting a higher performance tire, anyone have any suggestions? Living in Arizona, I don't have snow, and barely any rain, so I imagine I would not need all season tires, am I correct? Would summer tires be good for me? Ideally, I'm looking for tires with good dry pavement performance, a good tread life, and not too ridiculously expensive. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

Hankook Ventus V12s are a pretty decent tire. If you're looking for something stickier but shorter treadlife you can try the Hankook Ventus RS3s or Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs.

The V12s look pretty good, and about the range I would be looking for, as far as performance and tread go. I had also been looking at Yokohama Advan S4, but it looks like the Hankooks would be cheaper. I don't know much about tire brands, so I don't know if brand makes much of a difference, or if it really comes down to the specific tire. Anyways, thanks for the suggestions :)

im looking at tires as well does anyone know if Fuzions are good? and if a 215/55/16 would fit the same as the stock 205/60/16?

I've never heard of Fuzion before, so I couldn't tell you how good they are. As far as size goes, the rims on the ES have a width of 6.5, and the a tire of that size I believe should fit fine on rims from 6.0-7.5. Please correct if I'm wrong, but since 6.5 is in the middle, you should be safe. Does anyone know if this would affect speedometer readings?
