Hello,

Any recommendations for tires for my car? Looking for all-season tires (18"), I live in Colorado. Thanks again for the time.

OP - spend some time doing research on Tirerack.com. Below is a link to the tire size and category for the RDX. You can certainly deviate from this.

I just bought a set from Belle Tire today for my 2012 SHAWD Tech.

Got a $70 rebate as well.

I run michelin pilot sport a/s3 for the summer months. They have incredible grip and steering feel. Immediate turn in. So much braking grip. Wet traction is awesome even at speeds up to 100mph. The RDX won't break the tires loose under hard acceleration. I drove them 1 day this year in the snow/ice before swapping to my blizzaks and they handled decent in the snow. I could get by in the winter with them but for me winter tires are a must.

I would look for something with a very good snow/slush, cold temp, and wet weather capability included. Lived and travel a lot in Colorado and the weather can change from all 4 seasons depending on zip code or altitude in the same day (6 inches of snow in June in Color Sprgs and +90 degrees a week later has happened).

Unless you live near or in the Colorado mountains, you may not get the full benefits of a dedicated winter tire since it can be sunny, +45 degrees, and dry roads most of the winter. I really like in Conti DWS ultra high performance all season and purchased snow chains when I do need to travel to Steamboat Springs and head over I-70 Eisenhower pass at +11,000 feet. The Conti DWS can handle the 80-90 mph hwy driving speeds with zero issues that seems to be the common speed on most Colorado interstates. The issue I had with OEM Michelin and Bridgestones 960 was they did a decent job on fresh snow; but, not that great (and sometimes sucked) on the slushy stuff that stuck around for days/weeks afterwards. The Conti DWS do a good job on slushy wet snow.

Tire Rack or Discount Tires is a good place to look and compare prices and capabilities of different tires. I like Discount Tires because they are everywhere and you can do the road hazard, free balance, free road force balance, free PSI checks, and free rotations to save you $$$ compared to doing that at the dealership.

^^^I would second your opinion of the Conti DWS. We have them on our daughter's Accord (we drove it before, she got it) and they are great all around tires. We are outside of Boston so we get our fair share of snow and can recommend them -

Got the new DWS06's a few months back. After break in and warm, cold and wet weather, will say these are pretty good. Handle very well in dry and well in wet; Can't comment on snow yet but they should be on par w/ the originals.
Have mine set to 37 PSI up front and 35 in back. Long sweepers feel pretty stable. Rapid transitions can get a little sloppy if pushed too hard, but hey, it's a top-heavy car so...... Never had the originals on a RDX, but these DWS06's have an insert in the sidewall to supposedly mitigate sidewall flex and increase tread life, 2 of the biggest shortcomings of the originals.
