I have 15" Acura CL rims with 195/60/15 stock Bridgestone's which suck.

I want to upgrade to a 205 either 50 or 55 profile summer tire.

Do you guys have any recommendations, I am looking for decent handling/grip SUMMER only tire but it can't be noisy. I hate noisy tires because I take long road trips.

Thanks

 

dunlop star spec in 195 55 15 is the proper size for that combo. great performance. fairly quiet and summer only

 

i recommend yokohama s drives (: since you go on long road trips and want a quiet ride.

 

^^^ S drives

 

I ended up going with the Dunlop Direzza Z101, they are coming in one week. I'll provide an update. The Yokes were my second choice but were about $150 more.

 

I shall be buying these soon.

 

i was wondering tires as well.

i want to run 16's but maybe goin with 15's

i want a quiet ride and good fitted summer only tire aswell
i was thinking 205/50/16?? but should i do different?

 

That is not the correct size for an Integra on 16s.
205/45-16 or 215/45-16 are both close enough to consider correct.

Tire sizing is easy. Whatever width you want, preserve the diameter the original tires were, and verify that the wheel size is listed as acceptable by the tire manufacturer. That means a 195/50-16 would work for skinny 16" wheels and a 225/40-16 for wider ones (though, good luck finding much selection in those sizes).

 

there are only 2 choices in 16" the s drive if you want a harder tire or the re-11 if you want a better handling one.

many more choices in 15" not to mention cheaper

 

So I got my Dunlop's installed and now that they are broken in I have to say, the grip is amazing as is the handling. Steering response is much improved and so is the braking.
The tires are fairly quiet as well.

 

next time, check tirerack.com for reviews... it just depends on what you want to spend, how you drive the car, weather, etc.
