Just make sure when someone asks what model number oil filter you're using, you give him the Acura one.

I just emailed someone at Pirelli. Once I have a reply, I will post.

I run on Pirelli Zero Neros 225/40/18.

I heard that 38 psi was good. I used to always run my stocks at 32 psi.

I want to know also as my tires are very new (3 months)

Sure, 19’s look much better when the car is parked for photos, but when you’re actually DRIVING it you have to deal with all the problems.

Rougher ride
Fitment issues
More expensive tires
Much smaller selection of tires
And don’t forget the greater likelihood of bending a Rim or blowing a tire

Other then THAT, yes they look GREAT

PS…. I run 35-PSI in my “tiny” 18” Wheels

Just what we all needed, so dumb ass remark.

I bet you'de like 22" spinners, have some ghetto decals on the sides of your car, and blast the mucic at full volume with the windows down... am I right?

Funny how people that post stuff like this would never say anything remotely similar to this to anyone in person.

Otherwise, it'd be lights out!
