Tires for my ACURA
The tire reviews at Tire Rack must be rigged. The Michelin HX MXM4 tires get
damning comments. I have those on my RSX-S and they don't seem bad. However, I'm getting tired of dishing out $150.00 per tire every 30,000 miles. I'm looking at the favorably reviewed Kumho Ecsta MX 205/55-16 tire at $91.00 each. Can I have comments on the Kumho's and/or recommendations on other tires? Thanks, Dave M. |
Re: Tires for my ACURA
I have the Kumho Ecsta 712 on my '03 and love them. If you don't want to
replace them so quickly look for something with a higher UTQG rating. my 2 cents.

Many of the reviews are posted after the first 1000 miles or so, and I just don't see how they reflect anything but initial impressions. I have had good luck with Yokohamas and Toyos on my Nissons/Infinitis, and consistently unsatisfying experiences with Michelins on the Acuras & Infinitis. |

Re: Tires for my ACURA
If you really want to save money, try used tires. Usually you can find tires
with 70-80% tread for less than half the regular price, sometimes as low as a third or quarter. I bought 4 good Michelins H rated for my integra for $120, works for me.

I like Michelin tires and have also have had success with Goodyear tires. Regardless of the brand, get the tires that have a 80,000 gurrantee. If they wear out sooner, take them back. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.
