my helix springs lower the car 1inch. i have rear sway bar and run flats on 17 inch rims. which brand and size would be my best bet for everyday driving(city and I-10). thanks in advance.

 

I am running Bridgestone Ponteza's and very happy with them they have transformed the handling of the car 205-45-17 look great and good ride,215-45-17 were rubbing and anything less than a 45 is going to make for a bumpy ride.There's lots of raves about Good Year F1,Yokahama etc,it's a matter of preference what brand you want to buy Cheers.

 

thanks for the Potenzas info. is there anyone out there running o Michelines? please give me info.

 

If you don't care about looks, you could probably pick up a set of Holeys with stock continental tires. Probably will cost you the same as just 17 inch high perf tires would. I have tried a variety of wheels and tires for the MC (including R-comps) and I gotta say, the holeys + continental combo is the best for turn-in and steering feel. They are also great in the rain when new. Having two sets of tires is great - it gives you the ability to use the right tire for the road conditions. I have 3 sets , winter, summer and race.
