Application is 85% Auto-X, which size will be best?

215/45/16

OR

225/50/16



These tires look like a great option, but I'm still trying to decide between these and the Hankook RS2's....

I have the RT215's and they are pure SEX in turns!!


i would get the 225's

i have 225/45's when they where measured they where like almost 235's very wide tire

This car needs all the meat it can get. Go with the wider tire. Also, the way prices are now, the Azenis is a great deal. They just dropped, and the Hankooks went up! As good as the Hankook is, I'd consider the Yokohama Advan Neova and the Kuhmo MX first. The Yok doesn't come in a good 16" size, and it's very pricey, but it is an amazing tire - not just in sheer grip, but in manners on and off-track. The MX will be a little better on the street and in the rain than the Azenis, and will wear much better than the 'kooks. But, the 615 is still a darn good tire, and I plan on getting a set when my MXs are done.

Go with the azenis 225 size.

I have azenis rt215s on the scort and LOVE THEM.

I will be getting rt615s most likely for the svt as soon as I kill the fuzions (just a couple more months ).
