8th Generation Civics In Snow

8th Gen Honda Civic 2006 and up is the 8th Generation Honda Civic. It adds a new look to the Civic line-up. A really smooth front end separates it from previous generations while still carrying the reliability of the Civic name.

8th Generation Civics In Snow

I got my 07 Civic EX Auto Coupe in May so I don't have any experience with it in snow. How do they do? I know those tires don't appear to be the best in snow as they are kinda wide. I had thought of looking for a set of LX wheels to have some narrower winter tires, but when I researched it I found out that they have the same tire except for a different wheel. What's everyone's experience with our Civics in snow? Here in NM we don't get a whole lot like in Minnesota or New England, but because we are at high elevation we do have to deal with some snow. Thanks.

Re: 8th Generation Civics In Snow

i had the 06 Civic and with the stock all seasons honda puts on em with no real problems. I live in a city with alot of hills and for the most part wasnt bad at all. Sometime i tried to intentionally throw the car around in the snow and still had no problems with it. But yea....as mentioned, with real good winters that car should be like gold in snow!

Question Re: 8th Generation Civics In Snow

Any recommendations for good winter tires?

I used to run Michelin MXV4's on a a 2000 Accord I used to have and they did good. The Bridgestone Turanzas actually have more gap between the threads than the Michelins did so they should be slightly better in snow. It seems like most front wheel drives do pretty decent in the snow. The only weakness is when you have to start from a dead stop up a steep hill. Thanks.

The stock all seasons should perform just fine, unless you are really wanting an aftermarket tire. I used to live in Iowa and never had any problems driving in the snow on my stock tires.
