I just got my ITR in July and the tires I have on there now just won't cut it this winter. I was looking at Blizzak tires and they seemed to be good in snow but not really in slush or rain. Im from PA and I dont know what to expect this winter so any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

I have used Nokian Hakkapeliitta Q's for the last 4 years on two different cars and give them a

Don't know the availability of these in the USA though

 

Michelin Pilot Alpins in the stock size are

H rated, and they last forever...

 

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22. If you go through http://www.tirerack.com, you can buy a winter wheel/tire set at a reasonable price.

Or, if you only want the tires, check with your local Costco store. They have great prices.

I had some Nokian Hakkapeliitta Q's as well and they were great but one of them developed a bubble so I replaced them with Nokian WRs last winter and they're great also. Some people might think it's overkill since we don't get much snow in the Washington DC area but oh well...

hehehe. The 2nd through 99th posts will surely get a "se@rch f00" response.

I like my Blizzak's. Then again, as long at they're M+S rated, they're better than my summer tires. I found mine cheap, with wheels, from a guy that was using them on his S2000. (16", 205-50R16. Wrong height, oh well.) Longest any set of tires have lasted on my car, and they were $200 with wheels.

Actually, my new favorite snow tires are free snow tires.

Thats what I run in the winter. They actually arent too bad on dry traction, and in snow they rock.

Ditto, the LM-22 blizzaks got me through some of the worst snow in the past 2 years. They also have a higher speed rating so they drive and handle better than most snows.

Too bad you're not around here, I've got an extra set, mounted on steelies, that I'm going to sell...

 

Thanks everyone! I think I'm gonna go with the Michelin ones a bunch of you recommended, just gotta do some price checking.

Sorry about the search thing, I was in a rush and Ive never been to this page before, I'll know for next time

Later boys

 

It is good to see someone else from the philly area with an R. I just sold my second one about a month ago and miss her dearly. That is without a doubt the best car I have ever driven. When I sit in an integra I feel so at home like honda used me as their model for fitment. I LOVE DC2"s. Good luck with your R. Good choice by the way.

 

Don't leave yet, you haven't posted a pic and introduced yourself.

 

I got these just sitting in my garage. Only used for 1 winter. I see you are from Philly. I am only an hour or so away. I would be will to meet up anf save you cash from buying new wheels and rims.
I will do 225 for the tires, steelies, Accord wheel covers, and lug nuts.

the tires are Artic Alipines.









I am sure some of the Philly crew can vouch for me.

 

Im definitly interested IM me - hardcoren0body
