My coupe came with Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 tires. I noticed (300 miles on the clock) a slight "chirp" and loss of traction while going around a corner at normal speed (in town). I check a few sites that rated tires......the tire is a dog, at least by their user ratings. Check tirerack.com. I also viewed 1010tires.com

Any real life experiences to suggest a tire with focus on traction in wet or snow conditions?

I'd suggest to have a look in the https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=56 forum and look for threads where Nsxtasy has talked about good tyres for compromise situations like that.

It's going to be hard to find a tyre that adheres well in the dry, but also channels water perfectly <u>and</u> will work in the snow. Such a tyre really does not exist.

All of them are compromises.

 

thanks for the link.

its quite important to have safe tires since its the only part that touches the road.

will look into this for my next tire purchase.

 

i have an 08 and i actually found that the stock michelin were pretty bad for the vehicles's power and weight. given my tire has 5k on them when i took it off and i notice it was down to 6/32nd on the front and 7~8/32 on the rear. Now im using the bridgestone re050 because i get a good deal out of it, and the initial feedback/response was the braking were better and the handling was alot better.
