Default tire question

ok, right now i'm riding on the stock michelens....now, i want new tires. now here's my situation, i want to get a set of tires that would be good in the snow but not snow tires (i don't have any storage space for these tires after winter and i don't want them laying around my living room, nor do i have extra money to invest in steel rims for the winter either). so what tires would do just good enough to get me through the winter? oh yeah, and my teg is lowered 2" in front and 1.75" in rear, would 205/50 be a good size?

get the 205/50/15. Its the widest size our integras can safely handle. The wider the tire the more traction in turns and in straightaways!

You KNOW you're looking for a compromise solution here.... Since your primary objective is dry weather, with occasional snow, you should plan for that. Go with 205/50 since it's really not much different than the 195, so it'll be better in the dry and no real detriment in the snow. Since I personally don't believe in "multi-use" tire setups, I can't really advise you on which brand of tire. Dunlop, Michelin (other than the stockers) are both good all-season choices.
