What would be the best tires to put on 1996 Honda Accord EX with a H22?
And what measurements would be best?
I was thinking of getting some Si's.

Just like your other "best" posts.
Quantify "best".
I mean that is if you don't want to come off like a total noob just looking to chat. Show that you've actually put some thought into this question. Maybe list what you are trying to accomplish with the car.

I could care less what people think of me, I'm just lazy, it takes forever to type on a PS3..
But I was looking for tires that have a good amount of grip but not too sticky, like when I brake hard at, let's say 70mph, I won't slide too much and when I make tight turns, not at a high speed, just in general, it grips the street well. I'm looking for some durable tires that handle heat & high speeds well.
For measurements I meant what would be recommended for my goals.

How is that even relative? The wheels on a Koenigsegg cost far more then $2,000 by themselves... let alone with tires. Also, a set of CCW's, Volks, or other high-dollar brands will set you back more then $3,000 as well.


As for your request, KillaFrankiee, you're going to need to be far more specific here. Do you prefer 15's, 16's, 17's, etc...? Are you looking for 40,000 miles or more on your tires? Have you modified the car's ride height and body dimensions to increase wheel/tire clearance?

I'd suggest starting off with some research, regarding what style wheels you like, what your ultimate goal is for the car, and how soon you want the parts.

Buy a set of S. Drives's and give me the other $1500 so I can buy a set of race tires AND a set of summer tires for myself.

Your question really needs to have some caveats.

Also, which "Si" wheels are you referring to? The 4x100 wheels that came on the 99-00 Civic Si won't fit on your 4x114 Accord.

And the H22 adds nothing to the conversation. You're adding it to say you have an H22. It has zero impact on what size or type of tire you need/want.

I have an H23A, and when I'm curious about spoilers, swaybars, or camber kits, I don't say "Hey, I need a camber kit and I have an H22 what do I get?"
