Woo! They came stock on my Spec B and I like the dry traction but they suck balls in the snow, even with the awd.

I ran a set of Avon Tech M500's on my '98 EX coupe last summer and I was very happy with them. Better than the Kumho 712's I had before and you can actually rotate them (not a directional tread). Probably not a perfect 10/10th tire but for a daily driver like mine, I was very happy.

I don't know why people hate them? :dunno: Maybe it was that your car was much heavier and had more power...but on my integra they were awesome.

I'm now running Dunlop FM901's....I love the grip they have. Noise I can deal with.

I had the potenza S-03s on my RSX for a bit. The dry traction on those things was incredible, it was basically too much tire for the stock suspension. When I did get them to break away, though, they definitely went quickly. They also weren't that great in the wet - my Kuhmo Ecsta 712s had better wet handling & hyrdoplaning resistance. And it seemed like the tread wore down really quickly.

I think my next set will probably be the F1-GSD3s.
