I drive a Toyota Hybrid...
What tires should i get?

i am now getting sick of my ugly Sport Edition ST4 rims and i feel like is time for me to go back to my 19 Carlsson rep...

and if i do it i felt like slamming it all the way (all around, if BlakeP's used Lip can handle it )

i have had rubbing issue with General tires, so i guess "round sidewall (if is what you call it)" would help the problem


is this a strecting tire or is the tires i am looking for?

Kirax, the tires in that pic that have the "stretched" sidewall look are Falken Ziexs. Not bad tires. Good bang for the buck. They definitely have a less broad shoulder than most tires. I have them on my wagon and they do not rub (and I am sittin pretty low with 9.5" wide in back.

PS2 are expensive but I have no regrets after driving hard on whet last week. So sticky! and predictable.
Coupecrazy03 have them too. He seems happy with them.

My other option would be the eagle F1. I don't know if the sidewall is as round as the ps2.
