Every just has to be harder up where you live doesn't it? :squint:

 

ESL has failed you.

 

Never took it....



































Alright I did... :wtc: Eeerrrvrrryyyythannng hfawk:

 

oh, so you lived where i live and you know, right? i don't remember asking if it rained up there.

 

Go for the General Exclaims that I have on the RSX-s, good for light snow but not really an all season tire. They are great in the rain, even with ponding on the road had no problems.

Installed price for 4 225/45/ZR17 was right at $500 at Discount Tire. That included replacement warranty.



Here's a review that I wrote for them:

2004 ACURA RSX TYPE S COUPE

Driving Conditions: Highway/City Mix
Driving Style: Aggressive
Miles Driven on Tires: 2,500
Would Buy Tire Again?: Yes

In the short time that I have had these tires on the RSX-s I have been pleasantly surprised by their abilities. I previously had Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's on the car, which are excellent tires, but budget constraints forced me to choose a more economically priced tire this time. I have driven the tires very hard in some spirited driving situations and found that they are a very capable tire, not quite up to the GS-D3's but for the money a very good tire. Driving in pouring rain going though standing water they are very good at going through without hydroplaning even at expressway speeds. I felt very confident in their capabilities and had no loss of control issues. I also spend a good bit of driving time on dirt roads, and they actually outperform the GS-D3's on this type of road. I don't recommend that people try driving at 50 mph plus on curvy dirt roads but I have had no traction issues in this type of spirited driving. They have kept the car pointed in the right direction and I can feel when they are about to let go. They are a very good, economical performance tire, I heartly recommend them, they will fill the bill for many people's performance needs.

 

Since I'm still bouncing back n' forth between LA & NorCal, I went with the BFGoodrich g-Force Traction Z this January.

Despite using a high-silica rubber with a high treadwear rating, they're a damn good tire. I would certainly recommend them for a DD that sees the occasional canyon run.

When I bought mine, they had just hit the market.
I paid $95 each for a set of 205/45R16.

 

Be a pansy if you want.

 

you can call names all you want, but ever since having summer tires through a "socal winter" and subsequently totally my civic a few years back, i've been leery of just assuming i shouldn't worry about it.

 

falken ziex, sumitomo HTR+, falken azenis are all good cheap tires... waiting to mount a set of dunlop sport for the upcoming winter. Azenis + Snow = :wtc:

 

I just got the Kumho Ecsta SPTs...they're not all season, but they're good in the wet. No complaints from me, and only $71 each from Tire Rack for my size.
