Tires Giti or OEM Honda
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
I got over 55,000 out of the factory Giti so I bought another set from the dealer.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 88500 km
Get a Honda civic and snow tires. They’re reliable, safe, good on gas. I’ve never had a fwd let me down in the winter unless I was driving like a dumbass.
Pros: reliable, safe, good on gas
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Personally I went up one tire profile (from 225/50R17 to 235/55R17) and now my Speedo is GPS accurate ± 0.5kmh
Pros: Speedo is GPS accurate
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Ive heard of laufenn but im more familiar with Giti as you see there stuff rebranded in the US as GT Radial and Dextero which are popular in discount tire and walmart. They’re a good budget tire but dont expect 50k out of them. I find most budget tires feel just as good as the more expensive stuff with their longevity being the main drawback
Pros: good budget tire
Cons: longevity being drawback
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
Changed to them a few months ago, the wear and tear of these tyres are poorer than the common brands such as Bridgestones, foresee it lasting about 1 year compared to 2-3 years with common brands tyres. My road usage is around 12000-13000 km per year.
Cons: poor wear and tear, short lifespan
Mileage: 12000 km
My rear giti S2 tyre burst in BKE while driving on the fast lane. It was probably already around 35000-40000KMs. I managed to filter left and get to the road shoulder without damaging my rims. It doesn't take well extreme hot weather.
Cons: burst, poor in hot weather
Mileage: 35000 km
Never heard of Giti before, which is not a good sign. After Looking them up, the reviews aren't great.
Cons: reviews aren't great
