dayam...overwhelming majority...

Maybe I'll just go with the Modulares anyways....I already had a set of HRE's before and they were great...but I want to try something new...

Now the next major question...

1. Matte Black center with Chrome lip
or
2. Brushed Aluminum center with Chrome lip

You don't neccessarily need to have all-season tires for great wet traction.
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 is the perfect example.

For the best of dry and wet traction, I would recommend the Goodyear.

For maximum dry traction, I wouldn't recommend anything other than Michellin Pilot Sport PS2.

Trust me on this, you DON'T wanna go cheap on tires. You get what you pay for. Only get the best(that's my philosophy on other mods as well)

hell yes, my philosophy as well. plus i'm DEATHLY afraid of tires blowing up or spinning out and crap cuz it happened to my mom when i was young in the car with her... tire blew and we spun like 4 times on the 2n... i still remember it in detail, and how scary it was and that fear has stuck with me so.. yes.

thanks guys

my sponsor Toyo Tires rocks

go TOYO !!!



honestly the wider you go the more prone you are to hydroplaning but then again in a FR car its hard enough as it is



remember skinny azz tires like on stock accords cut through rain something lowered and wide is more prone to slide




any tire which channels water good but dont get ripped off by tire prices cause its killer

ive had falken azenis st115 which is decent for the all season rain etc but i recommend Toyo look for water channels and grooves in tires
