What are the best tires for stock GSR Rims? I need an all season tire for my stock GSR Rims. I want the Piolot Sport A/S but they don't make them in 15's. What else is out there that will give me better performance/handling without losing my all weather capability. I live in NY and in winters we get snow and ice. As for snow tires, that is out of the question. No place to store them.

Dunlop SP5000 205/50 15, all weather capability, $100 each shipped from tirerack.com. I have them on my gs-r and find that they grip much better than the stock michelins.

Get Kumho Ecsta Supra 712. 205/50/15. They are a very popular tire, and for a reason. The treadwear is good (I'm not sure what it is off the top of my head) and they aren't too expensive. I have heard a lot of bad things about Nitto NT450s. Don't get those. Discount Tire Direct will ship Kumhos to your door for pretty cheap. Check out their website. Tires.com. Falken Azenis Sport are nice also. They are a little bit more aggressive in tread pattern and the treadwear is very low, like 100, but you will be surprised with the performance.

I need all season tires. I don't think any of those are all season. I know for sure those Kumho's aren't.
