Need some help deciding on what tires to use on my DA please!
I have a few ideas as to get and I wanted to see what your opinions are on these.....
1. BF Goodrich g-Force Sport
http://www.discounttire.com/dt...TAHV7
2. BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial (is this even recommended for D/D??)
http://www.discounttire.com/dt...TAHZJ
3. Falken Azenis RT-615
http://www.discounttire.com/dt...ALHZA
4. Nitto NT NeoGen VR
http://www.discounttire.com/dt...ITHV5
As of right now these are a few on the list but I need help deciding on which one to get (or if there's others you guys recommend). I'm looking for something that's good all around dry/wet pavement and keeping road noise to a minimum.
Thanks!

A truly crappy tire. For roughly the same money, you can get some excellent tires (Kumho Ecsta SPT, Yokohama ES100, Dunlop Direzza DZ101), or you can get some equally crappy tires (Kumho Ecsta Supra 712, Dunlop FM901). Your choice.

Not really, because it's not going to last you very long (figure under 5K miles).

Outstanding traction and handling on dry pavement. Not so great on wet pavement and doesn't last all that long (figure 10-12K miles). If all you care about is dry traction (and that's true of many of us), this is the one to get. If you often drive in rain or care how long your tires last, other choices might be better.

I don't know, but I know that there are some excellent tires for significantly less money.
If you want a very good tire and you are trying to avoid spending a lot of money, consider the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 in 205/50-15. It's a very good tire for daily driving, with very good dry traction, excellent wet traction, and very good treadlife. It's comparable to the Kumho SPT and Yokohama ES100. However, right now the 205/50-15 is on sale at the Tire Rack for $48 each, and there's a $50 rebate offer through the end of this week, so it's $142 plus shipping for a set of four tires.
Read this post about tires. It was written for the Integra Type R but it applies equally to any Integra using 15" wheels.
