Tires DUNLOP or OEM Honda
I'm a City owner, and the OEM tires were terrible and noisy. Since switching to UC6s, I have zero complaints.
Dunlop enasave EC300 was a lot quieter than my then stock hankook ventus tires.
my biggest complaint, and probably my only real one, is the road noise. The interior can be pretty loud, especially on the freeway. I’m fairly confident that most of this comes down to the stock tires, because otherwise the car feels tight and well put together.
I had a 62 Corvair. Because of the swing axel on the early ones it was a bad idea to use radial tires. I had Dunlop Gold Seal bias ply tires and the car cornered like it was on rails. It was a good car.
I have Dunlop Winter Response tires and NA grips in snow like crazy. Had cheaper ones some time ago and difference is stunning.
You'll be fine. They're just not good over thick snow or obviously ice. Just stay in the lane that you see is completely dry. I'm still running mine now, its below 10 here in NY and feels in the negatives. Fine in the snowy roads with just traction semi off. No issues. Only sharp turns the tires give out so go slow with moderate throttle.
All that carbon fiber to make it light and easy to flick into corners - yet bro's never been past 15° lean. Waste of good rubber.
No, I made the mistake of driving my car around 40 degrees when it was raining, it was scary. Those tires are trash except when it’s dry and higher than 50 degrees
The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.
I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
