Honda - New Shoes
by Stan McKay Sat Jan 10, 2009 2:59 am
Ordered them from Tirerack, and had them mounted today. Now all I have to do is wait for spring.
Yoko S-Drives... I guess it's a pretty new tire. Anyone know anyone with them? The ratings looked decent, especially given the price.

Hopefully they don't go to shit like my Yokohoma's did.
You'll know by the end of the summer

I don't even know what my tires are. Stock ones for the 2008 Honda Civic.

good tires are awesome. when i switched from the re92s to the the yokohamas, the difference was very noticeable. better ride and much, much better wet traction. re92s have good dry traction, but they're terrible in wet conditions.

Yeah, my Stratus drove like a whole different car when I put the Potenzas on it. Fuel economy went down a bit, but it cornered a hell of a lot better.

The Evo is night and day when I go from the winter tires to the summer tires.

I have Falken FK452s all round. Which scrub and squeal a bit yet hang on very well. Their massive range of sizes has allowed me to use a 225/35-17, 245/35-17 combination. Which is actually a couple of mm less overall diametre front and rear than the stock 15 rubber.
Swerve- My hope has been emancipated, and I'm reconstructing my anguish.

I just put 255/55R18' Kumho Road Venture APT's on the CX-7.
A little wider than stock, and a hell of a lot quieter/grippier all around than the Eagle RS-A's that were stock.
Thing looks bad as hell now. Tires stick out past the splash guards. I need pics.

haha pretty sure my tires must be the RE 92s. 
Ah well. I won't replace them until I have to. They've been semi-admirable so far this winter. No close calls or anything.
