I miss the honda days buying tiny tires that were actually affordable. Nowdays I do most of my tire shopping on craigslist. Also having 5 cars doesn't help much

I had to shop around to find that place. First place I went to wanted $700. I don't plan on having the car all that much longer so I almost didn't put a decent tire on it.

Have to put a new set on the RSX-s soon... Looking at the Continental DWS's in a 225/45/R17...not cheap.

Decent tire though. I have had great luck with them.

Yeah, I've got them on the Saab. We're replacing the ContiExtremeContacts on the RSX-s. I've been real happy with the Continentals even if they are all-season's. The Conti's only gave a little to my GS-D3's and I didn't have to have 2 sets of tires and wheels.
