bridgestone re950s are a nice tire or dunlop sp a2s for stock replacement.

mxv4s suck balls, unless you drive slow and like over paying for tires.

I have a 7th gen LX Sedan and I am infuriated by my tires. I mean, it's so aggravating when you take a curve and your suspension is doing everything right and your tires sound like the world is coming to an end.

I've been looking at Yokos and Sumitomos at tirerack.com along with some new wheels, but can anyone recommend some other sites that sell packages as well?

I'd LOVE to find a place that has wheels like are on the new A8.

Default tires

I have a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE950's on my 99 EX. The car seems to take corners and sharp curves a lot better that the stock Michelins, and the RE950's are terrific in the rain, great tire.
