Stick with oem size


This is what i'll be doing,

still need some ideas on tires though, not even sure how to make a list to pick from them. (what makes them worth it? besides it just being a tire)

For the most part you get what you pay for, a good tire will last a lot longer than some cheap ones.

also, some carry mileage warranties.

just go to the major tire shops websites, pop in the size youre looking for and read some reviews

Cheap asses always pay twice is my advice, so if you plan to keep the car for a while go with a major brand like pirelli, toyo, continental etc and avoid chiness garbage even if price is tempting

Should get some stock gsr or si's and put winter tires on em for the snow weeks.

I like
Hankook Ventus rs-3/4 (grippy nice tired)
Bridgestone potenza re71r (pricey but super sticky and performance tire)
Falken azenis (cheaper out of the bunch)

Plus they all last a pretty long time if your alignment is good.

You want thinner width not wider, and preferably if you can run 14's with same overall height so thicker on the height.

I know it seems counter intuitive, but think skiis vs skates.

Wider tires displaces more weight accross the tire, carving less into the snow and sliding more like skiis.

Thinner tires focus more of the weight like skates on a smaller surface area allowing you to carve through snow.

The overall height is super important for your odometer. Runnning 14's with thicker tire height is considered better over all but not necessary.

Just avoid low wide/low profile tires, those are not made for winter.

I thought you were asking about winter tires!

info still here incase you want some GG winter tires/.
