Has anyone drove their ITS yet on the stock tires in the snow? I kept my RSX to drive to work and in the snow but was just curious.
In summation, I was inquiring how shitty the tires were. I’m a criminal defense attorney and it’s an intelligent conversation. I’m not asking anyone to drive on snow. Thanks for your comment though. Appreciate it.Just no ... Putting yourself and others on the road at risk. The OEM tire compound was never designed to see temps below 45F, let alone winter weather.
Mods please close this thread.
Thanks so much for the info. I was just wondering where I should take it since the wheels are new in the box/didn't want to get either set scratched. Does the Acura dealership do tires?265/35/19 in Pilot All Seasons on stock rims works well (extra 5mm sidewall) esp since you said you have the grey wheels as well. I just mounted them and they are nearly as good as the summer tire handling wise. Dont forget you'll need a new set of TPMS for the winter setup. Tire Rack sells them and also has a Michelin rebate.
I would def go to the dealer for these as they actually require a special mounting technique (reverse mount) and the wheels are prone to chipping. The charged me $180 to mount and balance stand alone wheels and tires I brought over. They tried to charge me an hour of labor for TPMS calibration but I called them out on it (they will self program after 5 miles or so of driving).Thanks so much for the info.

Can I buy the tires through the Acura dealer? Unfortunately, my dealer is like an hour away.I would def go to the dealer for these as they actually require a special mounting technique (reverse mount) and the wheels are prone to chipping.

Hi, can you please share the exact model? I am looking at Michelin website and there is also a load index.265/35/19 in Pilot All Seasons on stock rims works well (extra 5mm sidewall) esp since you said you have the grey wheels as well.

265/35/19 are actually 1 inch larger diameter than 265/30/19 which is about 12mm extra sidewall. The 35 is a ratio - not a measurement of mm of sidewall. Your speedo will be off by about 4% compared to the stock diameter.265/35/19 in Pilot All Seasons on stock rims works well (extra 5mm sidewall) esp since you said you have the grey wheels as well.
