vs
Tires FEDERAL or OEM Honda
I'm a City owner, and the OEM tires were terrible and noisy. Since switching to UC6s, I have zero complaints.
Pros: zero complaints
Cons: terrible and noisy
Vehicle:
Honda City
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.
Pros: car feels tight
Cons: interior pretty loud
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 30000 km
Usually it is recommended to replace the tyre for puncture on the shoulder or the sidewall but it is a very small nail. Personally I would get it repaired and move it to the rear.
Pros: small nail, get it repaired
Vehicle:
Honda City
Throw some studded tires on and you’ll be fine. I made it back to Saskatchewan after a blizzard in Banff Alberta where it snowed 10” of slush. It was a slow drive dragging through the snow.
Pros: studded tires, keeps going
Cons: slow drive, dragging through snow
Vehicle:
Honda
Driving CRX on the snow is incredibely fun! I've done it so many times, I live in switzerland alps. Good winter tires, a bit of handbrake and you are set :D
Pros: incredibly fun, good winter tires
Vehicle:
Honda
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.
Pros: light and easy to flick
Cons: waste of good rubber
Vehicle:
Honda
Yearly, some of the big expenses are tires (1000 a set if you buy the OEM tire from Honda) and gas (gets around 20-25 depending on where and how you drive).
Cons: expensive tires
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
They seem to grip decent once warmed up, but they are a bit on the loud side.
Pros: grip decent
Cons: a bit loud
My little Honda Fit is so light that even with good snow tires I can't get anywhere if the roads are slick.
Pros: good snow tires
Cons: can't get anywhere
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
Cons: stretching the fit
