BigDaddyHonda is an unknown quantity at this point
Of course you can't go wrong with either of the Yokohamas IMHO

I actually have the Goodyear F1's on my car and they are awesome (it has rained all week and I've been driving around TRYING to make the car hydroplane, but it won't unless I blast thru more than 2 inches of standing water!). It makes me mad because they still don't seem to be available on a nationwide basis.

It was nice to see how capable the new Kumho MX's are Does anybody have these on their car yet?

Yah... The AVS ES100s are awesome ... the cut through rain like it's nothing and are sticky as hell on dry pavement. Another plus on the side.... they're really quiet.

Good Luck.

Seriously, I don't think you'd get very far... but that's what Blizzaks are for.

My friend is looking for all seasons for his Vspec. It seems the car comes with summer tires. His car is all over the road in the rain and forget about driving in the snow, that is non existent.

HAHA.. one of the reasons I didn't buy it... I didn't want to go out and buy all seasons or another set of rims right off the bat. That and I thought it was built kinda cheap.
Yokohama makes the Avid H4/V4 in lots of 17" sizes and those are pretty capable all seasons. Potenza RE950's are supposed to be incredible in anything, but they're a little pricey.
If I remember right, the Spec V comes with Continentals or something.... kinda like the Firestone of sticky tires.
