Default Testing waters for performance tire group buy.

I'm currently trying to set up a deal with our new found shop to give special deals to Honda-Tech members and Type-R owners. Right now I know we can get SO-3's but I need to have an idea of what size most people are looking for. I will also talk to him about getting Azenis and R compound tires and offering them for super cheap as well. I really don't want this to be a group buy. I would like for H-T/Type-R owners to be able to access these prices at all times.

I need you to vote on which size S03's you want. Also any other performance/R compound tire you would like and the size. PLEASE be sure to include the size.

LOL

You should set up an ITR price and a H-T member price.

The H-T member price is $50 more per set.

Wheels shouldn't affect which tires you run.

Try some 205/45/16 Hoosiers.

RWD with bigger tires? Is that good for autocross? Hmmm must be.

How about some 215/45/16 Falken Azenis?

I'm sure you'd like those and your car would gain some acceleration also.

Is it just me or does it look like someone broke into a Nascar trailer and stole a set of wheels and tires?

I thought about the Azenis, but I'd really like something better in wet weather. I was also considering 205/50/16's, but wouldn't they be taller than the 225/45/16's?

205/45/16 are about as close to ideal as you'll get in 16".

for the majority, i would assume that integra owners

would probably prefer 205/50/15,
and civic owners 195/50/15

i know it's a highy generalized statement...but after being
on H-T for like a year that's what i've noticed.
