Default tire ?

Hey guys....I want to find the nobbiest tires I can for my Accord. I love mud, so I want to get the best traction that I can. I know this sounds cheesy, but o well. I ran a search and couldn't find anything....Any suggestions? And how big can I go safely?

If you like mud, get one of these:

Keep your Honda out of the mud pits.

I have my 4x4 already...you'd be surprised what a honda can do though. I've put this car through some crazy stuff....anyone ever been out to Prairie City?? I have a 4x4 f-250, and a 4x4 Bronco, so don't sweat on that...I just want to see what kind of tires I can put on my honda to get a little better mud performance.....

Get a 3 inch lift kit for it and get some truck wheels with gigantic tires for it. That would be cool!

Well get some micky thompson super swampers a 3-4" body lift. This will enable you to drive up the mountains to find a nice long cliff so you can /yourself.

sounds like a good idea to me...oh wait... i also thought going down a hill in a shopping cart at about 40 MPH and hitting a curb straight on and flying into a bush about 10 feet away was a good idea too...

Mickey Thompson Super Swampers eh? lmao!

Yes I am serious bout getting bigger tires for my Honda. And experience has "possessed" me to make it a mudding "vehical". I know you guys are probably thinking "stupid newb", but hey, don't knock it till you've tried it. I have mudded my honda and with the FWD difference from RWD, it's actually quite fun tryin something different once in awhile.

I am serious in my questions: what is the biggest size tire I can run on my accord safely (so it doesn't rub), and are there any that I can fit on it stock w/o a "3-4 inch lift".

not saying you a noob or anything, in fact i dont care.

but if you are that serious about driving your vehicle in mud, you know you shouldnt do it with a honda to begin with.

there's why there's 4x4, 4wd solid axle stuff you can get.
i dont know how, and i cant image how anyone can navigate
a underpowered FWD front engine family car in deep mud/slum

BUT that's my opinion, which is pretty much useless most of the time, huh? yep.

anyhow, i really cant think of any radical passenger car tire would off that kinda of capability with this little room(stock accord, i assume)

Why is everyone chewing away at this guy? If a Fiat Punto can be a rally car, and if an Acura Integra can be a rally car, if a Nissan SE-R can be a rally car, why can't an Accord do just as well? The balance is good, best honda-torque, decent size. I think you'll need it raised and lightened, followed by Falken RS01D rally tires, which have a nice level of gravel and rock protection but are fairly poor in the snow. For snow you'll probably need something like Bridgestone Blizzaks.
