Oem tires in the snow.

[preston23]

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.

Hmmmnn...You do know the ITS comes with performance summer only tires...they will turn into hockey pucks and the rubber will degrade..I think the manual said to avoid temps 45 or below.. If I remember correctly

I wouldn't try it.

I've not driven the Integra nor the MPS4S in snow, but I have had the predecessor tire (Michelin Pilot Super Sport) on a half dozen cars, including one AWD. Awesome tires in the summer, totally worthless in even an inch of snow.

Yeah not recommended. Once the rubber hardens it is susceptible to cracking.

For the sake of your safety and others on the road, don't drive with the OEM summer performance tires in the snow or when the ambient temperatures outside are cold (consistently <45F) for that matter.

The grip of the summer compound tires will be pretty bad when it's cold (even if the roads are dry) and it'll be even worse if there's any amount of snow on the ground.

Yup, it was surprisingly not as bad as you think but I would not recommend driving them full time in winter. I had to only because my winters weren't put on yet.

Don’t do it. PS4S are not good in cold weather in general.

Nice. Many people assume the tires will disintegrate if the temps fall below 45. While not true, it probably is a good thing people think that because they absolutely do lose grip. God forbid there's any moisture at all, let alone snow.

I echo all others' sentiment- don't do it.

My car came with the black set of rims also in boxes.

Has anyone ever driven the car across a frozen lake? lol

i actually have a second set of wheels with no tires on them, what is the tire size again? 19" 265/30? i can't remember (and my car is at the PPF shop) but i want to order a set of winter tires and have them put on the second wheels

I can't decide if this is a troll thread or not. Those Michelin's are useless, and should be illegal, for anything other than flat dry pavement.

Yeah but swapped the tires for skates.

I didn't know about the 45 degree thing; however, I was asking because they look like slicks almost. I was wondering if anyone ran into snow (60 turned into 32 maybe).
