Falken AZENIS Sport (RS) 195/60HR14

I upgrade my suspension to SE to have better brakes and a common lug pattern and now the tire selection is just as limited as before. Everyone is out of the Azenis Sport that I want to put on the SE rims to auto x with. What is everyone's favorite sticky tire in this size?

I bought a set of Toyo T1S about 2 summers ago & they will never let you down.A little costly,but well worth it.I love powering through a corner...

I'm having the same problem.

How about a five lug conversion/upgrade?

Anyone ever consider it?

If it could be done it would definitely help with rim/tire selection.

I switched over to se suspension also and now I'm running Kumho 215 50 15 tires. I have a friend who owns a tire store so I get them for cost. The 50 series in 15" is about the same height as the 13" tires that originaly came on the car.

After trying to work with the local shops and not getting call backs or acceptable options, I bought Enkei 16's and the Falken Azenis Sport. I had a bit of trouble with their site. We do not agree on what the stock tire size was for a se. i bought the 215-45-16 to keep the stock aspect of the 205-60-14 (stock) and to keep the speedo on track. Now i will wait for UPS. I have my engine parts coming and my wheel and tire package.
