Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 2004Tires 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. 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. > The tire reviews at Tire Rack must be rigged.

When you look at the reviews on Tirerack.com, pay particular attention to the number of miles listed on each comment. 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. 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. > The tire reviews at Tire Rack must be rigged. The Michelin HX MXM4 tires get > damning comments.

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.
