toyota mr2 spyder 2zz etc
So the tires are worn enough on my used new to me car that I'll be upgrading my tires when the rain season starts. Looking at getting tsw turbina wheels 20x8.5 40et and pairing them with some new rubber. My top 3 tires are
1. Continental ExtremeContact DW
2. BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp-2
3. Firestone Firehawk Indy 500

Thanks. When I was looking for this car I googled a white cx-5 w/black rims and that cx-5 on your post popped up. I'm going to lower it later on but I dont know if I should do eibach or h&r springs. Also, I'm going to have to deal with heavy rain with large puddles on the road(FL).
 
What are the most important aspects you want in your next tire?
 
traction under wet conditions and grip in the heat. I run BFG rival S/potenza re71r tires on my MR-S. This is the biggest car I've owned so I don't know clearances on this car at all. No rubbing and no stance crap.
 
Ah, uea these are all season, good grip in the rain ( when it rains here its usually heavy with standing water). But you'd probably want a more wet performance oriented tyre
