Im living in SC right now, and im planning on moving to NY for college, I was wondering if some one makes a snowtire for 17" rims, or if theres a better option on tires im up for opinions, any suggestion helps.

 

Sure there's snow tires for 17" rims but why? They probably wouldn't make a size that would fit an EF with 17" wheels though.

Pick up some 14" steelies and mount the snow tires on there, you don't want to use your nice wheels through the winter anyways and 14" tires are cheaper than 17"

17" snows will be USELESS in NY snow. Take it from me I grew-up in upstate NY! Find some round 14" steelies and get some 185/65R14 snows and that thing will be a tank in the snow! Thatas what we have on my wifes '99 EX sedan here in the New Hampshire mountains! The salt in NY winter roods and pot holes the size of you CIVIC! will also KILL your 17"s in two seasons flat!!

 

i have winter froce 13's on my civic for the winter and my wife who hates driving in the snow loves them and wants them on both our cars.

 

This year I'm trying out some nokians... supposedly they're better then blizzaks. We shall see.

 

listen to them they have more experience than me up in CAli.

 

13"would be even better for pot holes and bad roads!! The Nokians ROCK, best snows I have ever had just $$$. Have Verdestein Finnish tires on mine they are good but directional.

 

What 13"s are worth anything? To each there own, I guess I would rock 13" in the B"X" because of the roads.

 

Didn't the HF have 13's?

Theres one other model, CX? HX? VX? one of those had 13's.

I use Dunlop Graspic's on 14" steelies in the winter, great tires and middle of the road in cost. Tire rack has some sort of bargain basement generics for $50ish each, my graspics were $89 ea two years ago through tire rack, and when I had to replace one, it was $129 at a local retailer.

 

I have 185/65R14 Wintermasters for $40 from Townfair tire weer $200 installed out the door about this time last year. They are OK, not a Nokian or Verdistien, but the Nortic stuff is $$$! Anything is betetr than summers or performance tires.
