need help on tire choice please.

Hey all!!

well here's the deal. my 17" rims are getting powder coated and i need new rubbers.

here are the ones i have to choose from

Falkin Azenis st-115

Dunlop FM 901

Falkin 451

some other info that you should know

i'd like to get them in 225/45/r17 but it looks like i may have to settle for 215/45/R17. Do you think that i should hold out for the 225 or get the 215. I know the speed reprecautions for each size.

another thing is that i will be lowering my car 1.5" all around and that i autoX. The reason why i didn't go with the Azenis sports is because this is my daily driver and i want a tire that is good in the rain/ wet conditions. and the reason why i don't run r comp is because i want to race the car as i drive the car everyday

thank you for your input.

Well, I just ordered some 17" rims, and I got the Fuzion ZRi 225/45/17 and it seems like they will work out really good. I have heard alot of good things about these tires, even wet. the coll thing is that they have a lip that will protect the edge of the rim. IMO i think these would be good, i'll let ya know how they run when they get put on.
