Well yeah that's what i mean. But i suppose not all that surprising since the Ody had some nice yokohama's on it.

My tsx loves the rain. Conti DW are fantastic in the rain, also never had any problems with my oem tires.

iCrap

I have hydroplaned twice on corners in the tsx where in the ody at the same speed and same conditions it was fine.

I plan to get the conti or Pilot Sports next.

opboarding

I assume Conti DWS since you are in a cold area.

On a side note, I kind of hate my Conti DW. They tramline like a bitch and the car is overall harder to drive than with oem tires.

iCrap

Yeah i was looking at the DWS. But if you say it tramlines then maybe not.
I'll probably get the Pilots though.


Also considering seperate winter and summer tires but not sure i want to go that route...

Harper

My truck tramlines, but it only started doing it after I lowered it. Pirelli Scorpion tires.

Not in reverse, and not in really light braking, or really hard breaking, only in normal braking conditions, which is almost always lol

I bed them when I first installed my pads and rotors. I should do that whole 5 quick stops, then two minutes of driving then 5 more stops? (i dont remember if that's exactly correct) Seems like a lot of wear.

iCrap

try spraying it with that brake parts cleaner crap they sell at the parts store? Also don't they sqeak if you don't install those little clips on the side correctly?

Thank you! ^ My tsx does great in the rain since we replaced our tires recently. also I use RainX and it works like a charm so it wasn't a problem seeing outside. and yes I was doing around 80.

I forgot to look at the last page and said thank you to justin's post of saying iCrap's tires suck

Harper

Well iCraps username kinda says it all

New MDX is pretty damn nice..... My new car for a few days
Black on black with Navi~

Harper

^ thanks for showing us the actual vehicle.

PyroDave

yup, your car's handling and traction are only as good as the contacts to the ground. better rubber = better ability. my OEM tires are worse in the rain than in the snow, which i find funny =)

iCrap

^^ Yeah the OEM tires are so bad in the rain. Have not driven the car in snow yet but that should come soon..

MC MiYoung3269

Happy?

Mercedes>BMW

That picture sucks, so no.

TSXy Luster

My car was on OEM tyres during my near death experience. I highly recommend them since I did not die and had the time of my life.

Mercedes>BMW

^ How many miles do you have? and what year is your tsx?

iCrap

A better question is how is the tread? I drive my car pretty hard so at this point the front tires have worn down much more than the back tires.

MC MiYoung3269

Factory Michelin's are wack imo.... :\ Or I just have a heavy foot.....

iCrap

They're just regular old pilots. Nothing special.

PyroDave

who else loves all nighters?

Mercedes>BMW

^ Me. Had a great night... Need to do my homework and then sleep for an hour and a half.

My friend pulled up the bottom door trim this morning. How to re-attach?

Slide it back in or tap it in with your fist.

PyroDave

yup, i popped mine out, just pop it back in, should snap in, just check how the cable is running underneathe, it may have slipped out of position and is now blocking it

VR1

Loaner car?

opboarding

Hard to tell from the picture. If you mean the rubber that goes around the plastic just massage it back to normal or use a butter knife/car key and slide it in between.

iCrap

Not me

opboarding

Work all nighter I am assuming. Those are lame.

Fun all nighters, not so lame.

kurtatx

You're not kidding. It rains just a little here in Austin and suddenly my tires become afraid of the road or something.

MC MiYoung3269

Said goodbye to the TSX for it.

opboarding

That explains the loaner # on the windshield.

VR1

It has AWD though right?


Hey I've never had a loaner car before. Usually I just chill with the salesmen when I'm there.

MC MiYoung3269

Nahh, just the FWD. Not bad though.


Dropped the TSX off for balljoints

VR1

ahh ok. What was wrong with the ball joints?

iCrap

I thought you were under 21? How did you get a loaner?

VR1

Wait.. So I am right. It is a loaner from JEA right? So I can get a MDX loaner for my next oil change even though I'm under 21?

iCrap

Jea?
