What's up,
I am going from stock tires 185/65/15 (when they wear out) to yokohoma 205/60/15 , which is plus 1. Just
want to know your opinions. I love yoko's , had t4's on my crx, and am leaning to getting them again??

I just put yoko's h4's on my 03 ex coupe kept my stock rims and i love them the hold the cuves like they were coated in super glue even in a down pour they so much better then the stock bridgestones honda gave me (they sucked). I would go with the stock size thought so you can avoid having to reprogram your ecu for the new size which you have to do by law to keep the speedo and mileage correct

Thanks man for responding...I am going to get yoko t4 or h4 like you have, I am split
50% betwee t4 or h4, t4 last longer, not as soft, h4 soft ........I am definately getting
195/60/15.......just like stock, no changing speedometer or mileage change. I checked a
plus calculator on diameter.

You have to reprogram your ecu by law if you cahnged tire size from factory spec?? Never heard of that....

If you change you tire size to bigger or smaller then stock the speedo and milage don't read correctly. and this is considered frud if you ever try to sell the car and you can face jail time even. also if you don't have the right setup you could be going faster then you speedo says leading to a ticket and trust me a cop and a judge will not feel sorry for you if your speedo is off for that reason I know this for a fact

Here is something for you to think about in warm weather you want harder tires becuse the heat will natually soften them up liveing SC I would go with the T4's I lived in NC of about 15 years so I know how hot it can get. I live in CT now so it pretty cool compared to down there thats why i went with the H4's also It's more moutainous up hear so I need all the traction I can get and soft tires give me that I would go for the T4's if you don't to burn thought your tires

i have h4s on my stock steelies. i love them, smooth ride and nice grip.
they do wear out kinda fast though.

Not trying to change your mind but my neighbor has H4s on his 2002 civic ex and I have Kumho HP4 716s on mine (2001 Ex) and we both agree that my car handles better in the turns and has better traction in the rain. Heres a comparison of the T4($53 a Tire), H4($50 a Tire), and Kumho HP4($39 a Tire):

I appreciate all the replies ya'll. Thanks about the tip about hot streets, yes it is hot as He** here in the summer - the asphlat is hot. It is warm and no snow. I see what your sayin about the t4's bein harder. And, also thanks for the tip about staying close to stock. I am now locked on goin from 185/65/15 to 195/60/15. I have used the tire calculator to determine is in only 1% off in diameter and less than 1 mph off with speedometer. How is that for staying close to stock diameters?
NOw, I really want the Falken ZE-512's!!! in 195/60/15. Whatta think? Too soft?
I know from everyone's tips they are awesome tires.
