At best, the load ratings for those tires will be less then 1/2 of what they should be for your car. I wouldn't be so proud about having a tire setup that could get you killed.

Sounds like you need to do your research before you post things

Bike tires last for SO much shorter lengths of time. There's a reason that bikers tend to switch to the 'dark side' and go with car tires.

But in all sincerity, build your car for you. It's something different, something I'd never have really expected. Do it for you.

People like you?? Don't flatter yourself man, for you are not an innovator. No one has done this because it's dumb, in all honesty.

Funny you mention mass production civics, eBay accounts, and an array of "cheap aftermarket parts", however, your integra is a mass production vehicle, xxrs are not exactly labeled as "good", spoon style mirrors, and replica hatch wing.

Not to be a dick but this is a very cookie cutter car. Its been done 10000x before. There is nothing new about this besides the tires, which I cannot even begin to describe how unsafe they are. Not only are they not mass for the car, but they are stretched beyond safety standards.

An 8 inch wheel needs a 225 at least, but you have a 180. That is my definition of unsafe. Integras stock come with 195s...so that alone should be reason enough not to go below factory specs.

Just saying. But it might be good for drifting. Then again bike tires are expensive.
