are you planning on using them year round or just for the summer season?

He is in San Francisco so all-season tires would be fine.
I recommend the Yokohoma YK520 $138 per tire at discounttire.

More description of what kind of tires you are looking for would really help.

Netforcer · 01-16-2008, 03:15 PM

yea... do you want to keep the stock size or want to go wider? low profile?

thanks for the response everyone, someone slashed my tires, so just want to replace it, im looking for good traction and treadlife

ToyoSe · 01-20-2008, 10:08 PM

another question, what is the widest tire i can put on stock 17's? any suggestion will help

moky-tron · 01-20-2008, 11:46 PM

the stock 17s have a 7" width. i'd either stick with the 215/55/17, or go for maybe 225/50. my snow tires are 225/50/17 and they fit perfectly

Sorry to bring this thread back but it's the newest and closest fit to answer my question.

Anyway.. I am considering this Yokohama Avid V4s and the YK520. It seem the 520 is more for rain only while the V4s is including snow. I am wondering how many miles have you put on your V4s and under what weather condition?
