Yeah, tires are the most important factor in how a car handles.

If you guys go on tirerack.com and check out the "Max Performance" category, that's what'll really keep you stuck to the road. The Falken Azenis and Toyo T1-S are also in this league although tirerack doesn't sell them.

 

I've used the Kumho 712's and they were a pretty darn good tire for the money. I'm using Kumho MX tires on my cobra and they're a little more expensive than the 712's but they hook pretty well for a street tire.

 

the kid i bought my wheels off of had these tires and i HATED them they sucked so bad....no offense to those who like them. Some tires suit other drivers better than others. Get some toyos they are the shit

 

were they heavily worn? I have 7,000 miles on my tires. I have had them since new and I have never had a problem with them :dunno:

 

I had a set on 18" wheels when I had my rsx. I loved them. They weren't the best I've ever had but for the price they can't be beat.

 

I finally got the rims i've been waiting for. I got a brand new set of yokohama es100's in 205/40/17. I slammed the car cuz i didnt want the truck look so it rubs the front fenders when i take turns hard, so i havent been able to feel how far they can go. i gotta break em in anyway, but they feel great so far.

 

i'm considering getting these but i might go to the track a couple times this summer. think they will be good for that?

 

Well like a lot of people here have been saying, it's a pretty good tire for the money. I've cut 2.0xx 60' on the Kumho MX's (not in the integra ). From my experience at least, they hook relatively well. Just learn to launch it right.

 

mine only slip when i hit sand or gravel on launches and i tend to give it hell on a day to day basis.

 

Having read this thread...I want to extend my sympathies to all of my Integra-driving brethren that have to deal with snow for months on end. :happysad:

That said, I guess I'd spring for some bona-fide snow tires and a set of steelies if I was in the same situation. :dunno: The thought of running a tire like the 712 in snow makes me nervous...:eek3:.
