I have only been able to find 3 brands of tires for this rim... Kumo ecsta, Toyo Proxes, and Dunlop SP8000's.... it had the dunlops on it when i got it and i hate them so that narrows it down to 2.. i have heard mixed on Kumo's and mostly positive on the Toyo's but i would like some more input

I have kumho solus on my 07 fit, handling is good, water handling ok. road noise at 65 can be heard as a high pitch sound like tractor trailor tires. 70k warranty, last 60k. I now have parelli, 85k warranty, quiet, handling great, water handling fantastic. Best tires I have ever purchased in a long long time.

I wish they made parelli tires for my sized rim.. i used to have a set on my old civic but for some reason i have an uncommon rim size.. so im forced to choose.. i went with the toyo's and the dry handling is AMAZING wet handling is about a B, cold handling is far better than the dunlops that i originally had. they dont make any road noise as far as i have heard yet but they are s little stiff for my taste.. i can feel every bump now more than before (granted i have my car almost slammed) but still lol

Parelli is a good tire,I had them on an RX7 once and loved the way they handled in curves and got good mileage too.
