I have a 2008 CRV. I also have 4 brand new studded winter tires, in the correct size - except that they are 16". In speaking with Honda they stated that it would be no problem to put these on. They then came back and said that since the car has tire sensors (which was news to me) and that 16" CRV rims cannot accomodate sensors, I would have to go with 17's. They would not recommend the 16's, and would not install without the sensors. In all seriousness, is this REALLY a safety feature, or just a tire pressure monitor which is what I expect -- meaning that I could go with 16's and forego the sensors and really have a safe winter...

I am not sure if it is true or not, but the OWNER's MANUAL should shed some light on the issue of VSA not working when TPMS light is on. Also, OWNER's MANUAL should have revealed the existence of these sensors prior to the visit to the dealership.

| Just replaced the tires on our 2000 AWD EX. Bought some Kumho Solus KR21's. What a great tire, and a great value. Had them replaced in a snow storm last night so I had the ride on the old Tiger Paws (which had 5/32 tread left) and then the new. Incredible difference. Great traction but most impressive was the stopping ability. Better than my wife's Goodyear Assurance Triple Treads, which are pretty darned good. This is about the best deal on a tire you can possibly find. | |

Replying to: kenneth813 (Dec 20, 2008 11:20 am) The Bridgestones are horrible tires - noisy, rough riding and mediocre traction (at best). Treadlife is simply not acceptable. I am disappointed that Honda chose such cheap OEM tires. I am looking at Goodyear Fortera tripletreads or Cooper CS4 tires as a replacement. Any thoughts/recomendations/suggestions???? |

Replying to: kipnita (Dec 21, 2008 3:18 pm) . I bought the Goodyear Fortera tripletread at Sam's Club. They are great tires, your handling will improve and they are great in snow. I just so happen to try them this weekend in the snow storms we just had in Rhode Island. By the way I drive a 2007 2wd CRV and I had no problems with going through the snow here in Rhode Island |

Replying to: kipnita (Dec 21, 2008 6:45 pm) The ones that came with our CRV are Rated 66 with a 1.8 rating (out of 10) on Would you buy again and our answer is NO You can go to this web site for test results: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=HAS I don't thing they are noisey, but the CRV is not a Quite car as stated by Consumer Report & Edmunds in there review of the CRV. It's not bad but, it's not Quite either. I only had the tires for 1,200 miles, they are rated for 60,000 miles I still get between 28 - 30 mpg on the highway and Avg 24.6 all around I have not seen any milage differents. Mind you I just got these and really have not taken any trips with them yet.
