yeah they do....not very sticky at all....

[JoeB16]

yes, because they ahve no traction. and im not part of "we", but the Si had crap stock tires too.

[nytejade]

No traction. They're all season tires. That means they're "good" on dry, wet, and snowy surfaces. Not to mention they're skinny as hell.

You want Yokohama Parada Spec-2's.

They rule.

[JoeB16]

armorall is fine as long as you dont spray the TREAD. but if you dumb enough to do that, you deserve it.

Hmmmmmmmmm let me think!!??



YES They still suck!!

[DaddyFatSacks]

I'm getting the new TOYO Proxe tst, in or stock wheel size, they just came out, there very soft and directional. When I get them in a few days i'll give you my opinion!

Yes they do suck , I replaced stock tires with Yokohama Avid Touring T4's (they are my winter wheels, my summer wheels are SSR Integrals with Sumitomo HTRZ II's 205/40-17's

They're good for drifting at lower speeds, so if you want to drive sideways, learn to drift with stock tires and beat the shit out of them. [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

Hey! The stock tires are good...good for hydro-planing...good for nothing....good for wrecking...good for ditch-ramming...good for burnouts...etc etc.

They're the absolute WORST tires I've ever had on a car. Hard to believe Honda could choose such a crappy tire for oem. I replaced them a few months ago with the cheapest tires i could find...walmart douglas brand..made by goodyear (supposedly). There is no comparison. These new tires run like a good set of performance tires. Better wet, dry and handling. No noise either.

Do yourself a favor...replace your original tires asap!

Firestones, remember the incident they had a couple of years back with the tires blowing up!

I was quite surprised when I found Honda to bundle these tires. Alas I weren't going to base a car-buying decision on the tires. Come winter they're going out the door.

These tires skid like mad on rain and snow, dangerous at times. They're probably worth $50 for the set new. Damn Honda and cost-cutting.

The Si's bundle with Michelin tires. IMO, the cheapest Michelin tires are still good tires, not like what we have, cheapest Firestones = worthless sh|t.

- they are the worst tire ever. well at least for racing and daily driving. i finally bought some falken azenis 2 weeks ago and shaved my my 1/4 time by .2 sec. i get better launches as well. my firestones would spin in 1st and 2nd gear

[TYPE7RS]

i thought they wore ou kind of quickly....

[DMX]

hell yea

[JohnnyLee]

Can't wait to get rid of mine!
