Replying to: rsx_va (Dec 05, 2005 7:05 pm) Correction: It WILL help get you through the winter. Last winter I came home from work in my RSX during a snow storm and had to go back out so I used my wifes Subaru Impreza. The Subaru was wandering all over the place where as the RSX tracked beautifully. Mileage on the Impreza was around 10,000 so the tires were new. Also: One morning during a snow/ice storm 4 days before Christmas of last year I went to work around 5:30 am and drove down an icy twisty road. My wife drove down the same road a couple hours later and ended up sliding off of the road and into a telephone pole (she wasn't hurt). Sure, the roads "might" have been worse, but most likely with her leaving later and the sanding trucks out working, the roads were probably better than when I drove through (no ones on the roads at 5:30am) Tires on the Impreza? All-season Tires on the RSX? Michelin Arctic Alpin |

Ease up on the corrections/commandments. I'll get through the winter on these tires. I survived 13 Chicago winters and 5 Virginia winters on Michelin MX5 Energy's. Studded/snow tires are not a necessity in central Virginia.

Replying to: rsx_va (Dec 07, 2005 4:47 am) I used the OEMs for my first winter too and they worked great. Made it through an ice storm that first winter that had 4wd vehicles spun out all over the place (no kidding...I passed three in the span of one mile) my friends wife even rolled their Explorer. The second winter, however, the tires were not so good and I opted for snows. |

Question....I have a 2002 RSX Type-S, base tires (Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 89V). I need to replace one of the tires immediately but no stores around here have the standard tire in stock. Will it affect the performance of my car if I just replace the old tire with a similar Michelin Energy MXV4 tire?...it also has a V rating.

Replying to: nursx (Jan 10, 2006 3:47 pm) I'd use the opportunity to get 4 new high-performance tires, but that's just me.

Replying to: carlisimo (Jan 10, 2006 4:23 pm) Do you have any suggestions for the 4 new tires?

Replying to: nursx (Jan 10, 2006 8:46 pm) Falken is one of the tire brands I see named the most.. they seem to have a great tire for every application. Pirelli and Nitto are well regarded too. www.tirerack.com is a usual resource and they have a good wizard. Car and Driver has a test of 11 good (if pricy) tires online Good luck. If you need tires like, tomorrow, you're at the mercy at the selection at the local tire shop, but there should be knowledgeable people there too.
