16x7.5 Wheels

[yoscirocco at hotmail.com (daniel savatteri)]

If your looking for a good high performance tire i don't think you'll be 
happy with the Yoko Avid H4s.  I don't think that they come in a ZR rating, 
you can't beat the price from tire rack though $67 for 205 40s.  Either way 
i think your really going to want to step it up to the zr tires.  I just 
bought the BFG G-force TAs and they are great!  I've had good luck with 
BFG's, the Comp TA's i had before on my GTI lasted a very long time and they 
were on a 17in rim.  I also wasn't happy with the Avid ES 100's i just got 
rid of, they were like play doh.  Didn't last at all.   Don't expect 205 40 
or 205 45 tires to last as long as higher profile tires.  The best lasting 
tire in a 40 profile won't last as long as the worst lasting tire in a 55 
profile, it just comes with the territory of low profile tires.  I'm a big 
fan of BFG's in he straight pattern not the curvy.  Stay away from the curvy 
tread patterns, like most of the yokohamas (except the Avid H4S's), they 
definitly do not last as long and hydroplan like water skis.
