Best Rubber
Whats the best rubber that would fit on a 17" OZ Superleggra for the RSX Type S.
I'm hoping for All-Season please. I live in Canada with slippery winter roads and I'm to lazy to switch from dry/wet tires to snow/ice tires for winter. So anybody know any good All-Season tires out there?
Thanks all.:thumbup:

If you can find them try Continental's new ContiExtremeContact Ultra High Performance All Season:

You may even be able to get a 30 day test drive with them also.

they know far more than us and are unbiased
What I do is, I buy maximum performance summer tires (Potenza S-03s) and then switch back my OEM tires for the winter. Works out very well. Any all seasonal tire you find will not be nearly as good as a top end summer tire in terms of handling, road feel, braking, accelerating, and even noise/comfort believe it or or not.

Im from New Mexico, yes we are in america, i am a citizen, and i dont need a passport to go to texas, arizona or colorado,lol. It may be a desert where i live, and we may be able to play golf 11 months a year, but we do get snow, and im familiar with what it looks like. I have seen snow 1 time this year already. Anyhoot, how does your car run with the mods you have done to your car 02+RSX_TypeS. I ask because its almost the same setup my friend is gonna have on his car.

ok...
I don't have the setup on my car yet.
Infact... I don't even have my RSX-S yet...
But I'll probably get it by spring.:thumbup:
The mods on my signature is just a few that I currently have the money to afford for my car (after I get it of course).
Your friend is probably going to get that setup before I am so tell me how it turns out on his car.
Oh yeah... (I'm only 14)
My parent's buying the car, I'm paying full for everything and I get the car after I'm 17:fawk:
