What tires are on your Base Fit right now?

...and do you like them?

I'll start: original Dunlops in 175/65R15. They're okay, but need to be replaced soon.

those dunlops suck donkey schlong

Grab a set of my tires from tirerack

General Tire Altimax HP 195/60/15, 24.2 inches tall versus 24 stock. 60mph speedo is 61mph about

I got mine for $66 each plus $9.xx roadside

Cheap, only one pound heavier over stock tires, and goddmamn they are so much smoother! find the stockers on there and compare the surveys/reviews between them and you will find they outdo the dunlops by a HUGE freakin margin!

Kumho Exsta LX Platinum. 195/55/15 They are rated reasonably well on Tire Rack, but likely won't do well in snow.

(GE) 195/60/15 Falken 512s

Good lateral grip for $60 tires, suck in rain, suck at forward traction. Lasted almost exactly (a little more than) their advertised 30k miles for both sets I had.

Dumping them in a few weeks for S. Drives (195/55/15).

I have new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3, 175/65R15. So far I love them! Just a few hundred miles on them, but I haven't noticed any mpg hit. These are great tires!
