Never ever replace a tire with a OEM tire unless the car is a very high end car that comes with good OEM tires. Most small sedans come with crappy OEM tires that wear quick and do very poorly in the rain and snow, etc. Just remember if you replace the one, you have to replace the other one of the other side regardless of if it's the front two or back two. Different tread on the same end will cause odd problems, especially at speed. Dangerous as well. My choice, replace all 4 with a good quality set from Tire Rack and have a trusted shop in your area install and balance them, etc. Use the rating system to see how others rate the tires. I myself usually by a yokama tire, the V4 look good. I had a set of yokohama avid t4's on my 86 civic Si and they were great tires. You can't go wrong with tire rack. If you are unsure, ask one of their specialists to help you and OH, price does not always equate to a great tire. |

Replying to: targettuning (Jul 20, 2006 3:24 am) It was the rear tire and the car only has 6 k miles. So, it should be fine. I will look at the tire rack however, for when I need more or when it's time to replace. Thanks for the advice!!!!!! I really appreciate it. Marc |

| I just bought a 97 civic ES. It came w/ cheap hubcaps and small tires. I don't want to modify the car at all in any way that will negatively affect safety, braking, etc. I also don't want low profiles that make a pothole an expensive proposition. I just want to replace the cheap hubcaps w/ a nicer looking wheel (maybe pulls from another honda), and I want to put the largest tire on the wheel that it's rated for. Any ideas what the factory recommended range of tire sizes is, and what type/size wheels would be nice? Also, what year model pulls would work on a 97? | |

Anyone buy winter snow and ice tires and rims on their 2006 Civic EX from COSTCO? I went to COSTCO looking for Mich. Ice-x on steel rims and was told the bolt spacing had been modified for 2006 and the don't stock. The deal is I'm not worried about putting 205/16's on if I can get away with 195/15 which is quite kosher as the diameters are the same. The diffrence is the 15's are a lot less money. Also COSTCO fills with Nitrogen for the money. |

| I just purchased a 2007 Civic LX Sedan and have a quick question on the rear tires. I noticed while looking at the rear tires it looks like they are at an odd angle, like there pointing in. I'm sure it just looks that way with the wheel well body angle but it makes me curious. There are no steering, handling problems, car is brand new. Stopped and looked at another Civic, looked the same. It's probably my eyes playing tricks on me. Does anyone see the same thing or am I going crazy. Thanks, luv the Civic. | |
