Tires FULDA or OEM Honda
Got all 4 for 250€ with almost new Fulda tires on it, that was a steal in my eyes - had to get them. They are Fondmetal 5700 in ET38, 195/50/R15.
Pros: steal, almost new tires
Vehicle:
Mazda
I have a 2005 with just over 75k miles. Bought 5 years ago with 19k miles. I'm averaging 19.64 mpg. Most expensive repair have been 4 new tires after 50k miles.
Pros: repairs are cheap
Cons: mpg go down
Vehicle:
Honda Element
Mileage: 120700 km
My wife DDs a 2007 Fit. It has been bulletproof with only regular oil changes and tires. The folding rear seats are one of the highlights of the car and make it extremely versatile. It gets 35+ mpg all day long and handles like a go kart. She loves it.
Pros: extremely versatile, handles like go kart
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
The sumitomos are no longer available. I found a website that has some Fulda's and Continentals in the size we like. They are more expensive, but better than the sumies.
Pros: better than Sumitomo tires
Cons: more expensive
Fulda\u00b4s are the best tires you can get here for ultra low cost , but most vW people in Germany dislike Fulda\u00b4s .... they prefer spending 100\u00b4s of euros for Dunlop\u00b4s which i don\u00b4t like. I always buy Fulda\u00b4s or Continental\u00b4s...
Pros: ultra low cost
Cons: most dislike
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Of course if this is a street car, and comfort is required and you dont drive like I do a set of all seasons in 205 like a fulda assuro on a 7 inch wide wheel will give you sufficient grip for the street. Cleats for the snow if you have to do that too, and they're pretty smooth over bumps...
Pros: sufficient grip, smooth over bumps
They are ATP Magnum Elegance (9,5 x 18) with Fulda Tramp 4x4 Yukon (255/55/18).
Those stock tires will give you grief, they give your steering a little annoying dance the closer you hit 170kmph/100mph. Work through those tires. Swapping to something else will almost completely get rid of the wobble.
Cons: steering annoying dance, wobble
Vehicle:
Honda
Finally, check your tire date codes. Tires older than 6 or 7 years are no longer suitable for riding on, as they have lost a lot of their elasticity and therefore grip.
Pros: check date codes
Cons: lost elasticity, lost grip
Vehicle:
Honda
I used to think Honda is great until we had a CRV. It was a piece of crap. It shakes at low speed or highway speed. The dealer was so incompetent and kept asking us to replace tires, wheels all at our own cost but the problem was still there.
Cons: shakes at low speed
