time for me to get some new tires

silver h22 · 10-04-2007, 10:31 AM

hey guys, i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction with this. the stock crap michelins are almost due for replacement on my si and within the next month I'll be looking for some new ones.

im looking for a tire with enough grip to keep the car on the ground 100% of the time stock(except for an occasional chirp) and good grip in case i get the cai/dcrh/evo reflash setup. something that could handle that would be great and all i would need. the better tread life the better and of course cheaper the better. hoping that some of you on there have had some experience with different tires. no plans to autox, if i did i would buy diff tires and probly diff wheels. also i live in fla so water traction important, only would need summer tires.

tires ive found so far:
kumho spt $88
general exclaim UHP's $72
yoko es100s(had these on my prelude) $100
tire rack prices

should i consider a 225 width tire?...more grip right?
any suggestions?

go with 225... i havent had experience with the kumho spt or general exclaim uhp's but i did like the yokohama avs es100's on my em1. wet and dry traction i was both satisfied with.
