I have a set of winter wheels, and this will be the first year I'm looking for something other than the Conti ProContacts on my vehicle come April. I have the stock 17" rims to work with. Regardless of the choice, I do not want to give up performance, handling, or safety (wet) vs the Conti's. I only want to improve the car, and the 'budget' sense for a tire purchase is just prudence because it's still a fwd cvt'd civic I do not track.
If I stay with the 17s, I am considering going budget and getting closeout Ultra High Performance Summer Tires. Are Riken good for this goal?
Still staying with the stock rims, the other choice is Pirelli P0 Nero-GT. They appear to be the best in the stock size available from tirerack.
Outside of the stock rims, I would most likely aim for <20lb (closer to 18lb) rims. At that starting expense, I'd get the Pirelli's.
Thoughts? Recommendations? What would you do? Cheers!
