what tires for me

[goldstar]

Are you looking at different sizes with different speed ratings? Or the same exact sized tire with 2 different speed ratings as was the case with the 712s.

Of the original tire manufacturers and their tire models that I listed, the following selections are identically sized and differ only in their speed ratings:

Yokohama Avid H4s/V4s
205/60-16 V; H

Michelin Pilot: XGT
225/60-16 Z; V; H
225/55-16 Z; H
225/50-16 Z; V; H
225/45-17 Z; H
235/45-17 Z; H
245/45-17 Z; H

Bridgestone Potenza RE 92
205/60-16 V; H
205/55-16 V; H

Bridgestone Potenza RE 950
205/55-16 V; H
225/55-16 V; H
225/50-16 V; H
205/40-17 W; H
215/45-17 W; H
235/45-17 W; H

In the remainder of the tire manufacturers and their models that I listed, Dunlop Sport 5000 and Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position, the varying speed ratings are associated with a given tire size (typically, the wider the section width and the smaller the aspect ratio, the higher the speed rating) and no identically-sized tires of the same model have differing speed ratings.

Happy Motoring!

Azenis vs. Ziex

I commute everyday 50 minutes to and from work.

I got Azenis and to and from work its tons of hills and valleys. I have had them for more than a month and got plenty of meat and besides for the price they are not that bad. Excellent grip on hot dry road, in between turns are amazing, nothing if compared side by side with the Ziex.

The good thing about Ziex is when it rains, being all season have better road control than Azenis which on wetty surfaces tend to slide a little.


The Ziex lasted me around 15,000 to 20,000 miles. Good road noise, also I got to state that for some reason the Ziex had better high speed grip than the Azenis.

IF your deal is more rally driving and most of the time is sunny and dry then go with the Azenis. Then again this is my own personal opinion and results.
