Hi,

I just bought a 99 Prelude that has summer tires on it. That's great, except that I live in the north east. So what all season tires would you recommend for the Prelude?

(Yes, I know I can get a set of winter tires, etc...but I want all season tires.)

Oh, and here's a picture of my new baby...



Thanks in advance

 

nice car

 

i am most likely going to buy some falken azenis.

 

Yeah those Azenis do great in the snow

 

oops, thought they were all season.

 

looks pretty clean . how many miles does it have?

 

What kind of conditions is the car going to see?? like multiple inches of snow, just rain/wet roads?

If just rain/wet and minimal snow, and you want decent performance I would run these.

Falke Ziex


You can pick up the 205/50/16 for ~70/ea. These would not be reccomended in actual snow...ie sticking to the ground, but if the road is just wet these would do fine.


I recently picked up some Hankook IceGaurd's for the Mrs' Lude.. I believe they were 205/50/16 or 205/45/16 but now I can not find them...You could call discount tire and have them find em.. The were also about ~70ea

If you see lots of snow you could run these

They are a bit taller than stock..205/55/16. but are fairly cheap @~70ea. Keep in mind they are only T-rated which is 118mph

anyhoo here is a whole bunch of other tires if your car is going to see lots of snow.

Lastly these are what came w/my Lude when I purchased it, they absolutley suck performance wise, but did ok in the snow/wet

I ran Toyo Proxes FZ4's and they where decent.

 

I'm on my second set of the Dayton HR's. They're really good tires and they lasted a while too. I just got a new set on last week.

Azenis+snow=bad.

Even in rain the Azenis are iffy, but as long as you drive conservitavley you will be fine.

Here's a pic of my Azenis off the Lude, and Im sure you can figure out why.


You were probobly thinking about Ziex's which I listed above

 

all my friends run blizzaks

D'oh...those are the tires that came on the car! I feel dumb, I just figured they were summer only tires because of always having heard of Falken Azenzis...I just associated them with each other. Dumb of me to do that, but I just picked up the car yesterday and I have yet to learn everything about the car! Thanks for all the info on the tires! And I can't believe they're so cheap. I just paid about $120 per tire for my 15" wheels on the Integra before I got into an accident.

And thanks to those for the compliments on the car. It has about 69,400 miles. It's in pretty good shape...paid $10,800 for it (not including taxes and all that crap)...so I think I got a pretty good deal. I'm already starting to like it more than the Integra I had.

Well..they are a High Performance tire, w/all season capability..

Don't expect them to do much in any type of snow, but wet/minimal slush should be fine.

 

I think that the only true all season offered in our size (205/50/16) is the stock Bridgestone re-92. And they basically suck for dry traction. I up here in NY and i run snows and summer. You will have a MUCH better driving experience with the 2 sets of rims... Oh yea get your rims on the correct side of the car
Looks really nice. Enjoy the car.

 

fubu I ment fubar j/k what series tires do you got on now?

being honest has nothing to do with people not liking you. its the fact that you are full of ****, dont use punctuation, and have a gay sig that no one likes you and bad stuff is happening. this statement in your signature is not going to help matters at all

uh...oh.

Sam smells blood. lol

 

back on topic.... D has some tires for sale in his sig that would make good all weather tires

 

For a northern climent tire, he is going to want a tire with "sipes" in it. Those are the little tiney cuts in the tread block... That none of the performance tires carry.
The sipes are what give you that traction in the winter. good luck.

Muahaha..

they would also gear the Lude extremely low for better accel.

 

Yeah the Falken Ziex are a great all-season tire, I used those on my old 95 Prelude VTEC. They did very well.

 

why dont you take the money for winter tires and buy a 1000 dollar beater

 

I picked up some sigma regent tires all around (all season radials).
I haven't slipped except on pure glossy ice. They're awesome!

 

yeah the falken ziex tire is great i love them even in rain. i had them on my 96 accord ex 2dr coupe. so for those tires
