I just ordered my drag dr20's and Tein S-Techs. I need an affordable tire that will look better than my current stockies. The problem is, I am not knowledgeable in that department at all, I dont even know how to judge the tire size. That is where I need your help. I have always like the look of the tires where the sidewalls are more flat than rounded like most tires. Below is a pic of an xb with the dr20s on it and I like those tires too.

If you're on a budget, I'd look at the Falken Ziex 512. I've owned two sets of them and I really enjoyed them for daily driving.

What about the size though, I looked those up and they come in all different sizes and I dont know which size I need. I also read alot of bad reviews saying the tread is too soft for hard handling vehichles. Do you agree? I also am putting on a sway bar to improve handling and I dont want to ruin it by using soft tires.

If it were me, I'd buy 205/55/15. This will keep your speedometer and odometer correct.

I have Yokohama EVS ES100 tires. They are not an all-season tire, rather a high-performance tire. They have the flatter sidewall that you like, too. If you don't need all-season, I highly recommend them. They handle excellent, too.

All-season is an unknown term down here. I'm in phoenix arizona. No rain, No snow. Its summer all year minus a few weeks in december pretty much. <--"Slight Exageration (But Not much!)"

Falken Ziex 512's: have been very pleased with ours over the course of the past year. Great handling and good ride.
