I'm trying to get new tires for my RX8. (Need Help)

Hey, guys. Whats up? So I've been looking at tires for a couple of weeks now and I have no clue which kind of tires to put on my RX8 since I haven't bought any in like the past five years since I've been rocking toyo tires. What do you guys recommend? By the way. I'm from Washington State so it rains hella and then it gets cold so I would need to deal with those elements. Thanks in advance.

I run Hankook Ventus V12, but my 8 sits in the garage in the winter. Don't use these under 40deg weather, ok in the rain

Personally a set of cheap wheels and 4 season tires or snow tires is a lot better for a lot of reasons. The weather we have had in the last 6 weeks has been too cold for decent traction with all seasons....and the snow and ice sucks. A set of steelies works well too if you aren't too turned off by the way they look.

That way you can run good rims and tires when you want them...and traction when you need it. ..and wheels you won't cry over of you tap a curb or something in the slipperies.

if you figure out what the remount and re balance charges cost....it doesn't take very long to pay for a set of cheap wheels
