Tires IRONMAN or OEM 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
An ultra-high-performance all-season tire, the iMove Gen 3 A/S from Ironman is designed for use on sport and performance-oriented coupes and sedans. Built with large shoulders that improve cornering and handling, the iMove Gen 3 A/S features an all-season rubber compound that allows for solid traction in dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions.
Pros: solid traction, quiet ride
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
I thought they must be crap but after looking into them, they are very well-reviewed. A traction A temp, UHP (ultra-high performance) rated. I like them. You could pay $400/tire for a premium brand but they won't be 4 times better or last 4 times longer.
Pros: very well-reviewed, traction A temp, UHP rated, good value
Money forced my hand a couple summers back and I had to put new front tires on my Grand Marquis at the time. Had to go cheap and bought Ironman iMove all seasons. After a few months the only positives on the ledger were that a) they had tread and b) oddly, they balanced out unbelievably well. 80 MPH on the highway, smooth as glass. Ride and handling quality deteriorated quickly from new and they got loud in a hurry.
Pros: balanced well, smooth at speed
Cons: deteriorated quickly, got loud
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 put Ironman tires on it???? but surprisingly they aren’t performing half bad !
Pros: surprisingly good performance
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Ironmans are garbage. Slipped in any kind of wet weather
Cons: slipped in wet weather
I too just replaced half worn ironman tires with dws's on a car I just bought. Wet grip on the ironman was some of the worst I'd ever experienced on a tire with tread still on it.
Cons: worst wet grip
