| Has any one tried Falken Azenis ST-115, Falken Ziex ZE-512, or Falken FK-452 Tires? I was thinking about these for my 06 TSX next spring/summer. | |

Replaced the OEM tires at 2k miles with Yoko Avid V4S  Discount Tire (received $50/tire trade in on OEMs) in order to maintain max safety in the NW as well as maintain the recommended/"required" XL rating. The difference in traction, handling and overall confidence was night and day, and, with 13k miles on the tires, I still cannot recommend them enough for people that want or need all-season tires.

I recently bought a tsx (been 3 months) and the acura service guy now tells me the front tires are pretty much gone. I haven't taken the car to any other place to check but has anyone replaced only the front tires? If I do have to replace only the front tires (which seems very likely when I looked at the tires  ), can I put on tires of a different brand or do I have to stick to the same brand as the rear ones? Btw, is there a way to check the condition of the tires myself? appreciate all the help folks!

Replying to: isk79 (Nov 09, 2006 12:00 pm) If so, I'd start new with four tires, and put them on a 6-8K rotation cycle. You do not have to go with the OEM tires if you don't want to, there are better, cheaper alternatives out there (see the post above yours). If the car is new, I'd try to get it done under warranty. Checking tires involves maintaining air pressure on a regular basis (buy yourself a good tire gauge), and visually inspecting the tires for cuts and any other damage periodically. It's very easy. FWIW, I have 20K on my OEMS, and I hammer them on a regular basis, and they are showing no significant signs of wear, at least no more than you'd expect at 20K miles. 3 months on new tires is ridiculous. Good luck. |

I've got about 2000 miles on my Pirelli's now and I thought I'd pass along my impressions now that I've got some wet weather miles with them. They grip like very good all-seasons on dry pavement. In other words, they turn in very crisply and feel like a top notch summer tire below 8/10ths, but definitely do not have the ultimate grip of a dedicated summer tire during hard cornering on dry roads. In the wet, they are very confidence inspiring, and I'm now glad I didn't choose summer tires (it rains at least half the year here in Seattle). Bottom line? If I lived in CA or a warm climate, I'd put proper summer tires on. If I lived in the snow belt, I'd have two sets of wheels (one dedicated summer and one dedicated winter/snow). For the Pacific Northwest, the Pirelli PZero's are the perfect compromise for most drivers.

Replying to: fedlawman (Nov 11, 2006 9:20 pm)  So I guess I should replace all 4 then. I was looking around on tirerack and I found these: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Avon&tireModel=Tech+M550+A%2FS&- partnum=15WR7M550&i1_Qty=2&autoMake=Acura&autoModel=TSX&autoYear=2005&autoModCla- r=&vehicleSearch=true http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=AVID+V4S&par- tnum=15VR7V4S&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&place=11&speed_rating=VR&speed- _rating=ZR&speed_rating=WR&speed_rating=YR Does anyone have any experience with either of these? Prefer one over the other? fedlawman - I didd check those tires out. Seemed a little more than what I'd like to spend right now Thanks for the suggestion though! Thanks again!
