First of all the RSX-S is a very well balanced car and has termendous potential for some serious handling. But does anyone else out there feel that those suck as Michelin pilots have no buisness on the RSX-S? That was the first mod I made to my car. I had a 99 gsr and I had no complaints about the michelin xgt, i think, tires on it. I realized in the first 10 miles of driving my rsx that the damn pilots just don't have the grip that the xgt's had. A car capible of 150 shouldn't be riding with those pilots. But that's just my opinion.

 

i lot of people dont like these tires aswell,i have switched mine

 

my stock tires died after 1 summer...

 

man the tires on my GSR sucked, just plain sucked, as for my EP, same crap. im pretty sure just about all the stock tires on honda cars suck, exceptions are probably the ITR S2K and NSX

 

honda does that a lot... hinders performance with all-season rubber
Quick example: Take a look at the EP3 Civic Si... sad rolling stock mini-van wheels with economy tires

 

yup! Those tires suck..but so did the stock GSR tires.

 

well they weren't great but i thought they were better than the pilots.

 

I wish my rsx came stock w/ Potenza RE010 like the itr's

I might consider getting a set of yokohama AVS ES100's sometime soon
any other good summer tire suggestions?

Stock RSX tires are equally effective in real-world applications at performing the same function as stock Bridgestone RE92s on the WRX; they keep the paint off the ground until you decide to fuel the performance tire market.

 

i seriously dont think the stock tires are that bad. but motor mounts help a lot!

 

Ehh... what other tires have you driven on? Run the car on something stickier like Azenis, or r-comps and you'll realize how much more the car can do

 

I haven't driven on a lot of tires before, only a set of Dunlop W10 & Yokohama A520... I wanted a set of Azenis, but they don't come in the size I want (225/50-R16)
Im getting the JIC FLT-A2 this weekend, so really can't wait to get some sticky summer tires on since the weather is really settling down rite now
