Can I run Max Performance Summer tires, specifically a set of Pirelli P Zero Rossos all year round?

you live in houston, where we only have 2 seasons. Summer and Summer.

the rubber compound is different in summer tires than an all season tire. the rubber likes heat.

i run summer tires year long, however, they dont last long.
so, by the time winter rolls around, im running them close to being bald and the rubber already doesnt like the cold, so it gets scary at times. cold pavement and bald summer tires = no traction

this gets expensive because I end up buying Summer tires, yearly.

SIGH

Ferrari's F1 team replaced their Team Principal with a guy who is best known for being an awesome car sales manager. No F1 or racing experience at all. This is prob just as bad as Honda's management lol.

iCrap

wow i just looked at those Pirelli P Zero Rossos and they are cheap.... cheaper than the OEM pilots. What?..

TSXy Luster

You realize that a lot of tyres are cheaper than the OEM Michelins, right?

iCrap

Well i figured any decent performance tyre would cost a lot more but I guess not.
I've never changed wheels / tyres with anything other than stock before.

What's wrong with the Pilots?

Also it's tires* guise.

iCrap

The pilots are pretty bad imo. They suck in the rain and aren't all that great in the dry either.

tyre because the Stig

rawger

Lol I wasnt sure if it was a joke or they really didn't know.

TSXy Luster

No, it is not.

It is also not "guise".

This is not a joke.

TSXy Luster

Mindtrip Monday.

rawger

Coming from a 2009 Altima with continetals that are near the end of their life, the Pilots are amazing lol. Haven't driven in much wet water. They handle decent and are quite so I'm happy.

rawger

You're lucky your a Gambino fan. Ill let it go this time.

Are the Primacys better then the:
Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105 (Ultra High Performance All Season)
Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position (Ultra High Performance All Season) ?

Because they MXM4's are actually more expensive then both.

iCrap

What are you putting them on? OEM rims?

the thing is, there is no set standard. "ultra high super performance" yada yada....

there isnt a set standard for tire wear ratings either. one tire manufactures 400 tread wear is different from another tire manufactures 400 tread wear, because each company might use a different compound of rubber

comparing tires is very hard.

TSXy Luster

Still wrong usage

VR1

On a set of 18" Bremmer Krafts (If my parents say ok)

VR1

Gotcha.

I just need a set for around ~600 that I can use year-around, and aren't worse then the MXM4's.

rawger

Is it too late to blame Swype.

i would choose either of those two tires over the MXM4's.


it's really hard trying to find a tire that fits all or most of your requirements.
I'm trying to find an all season for my Kia Sportage...i hate the stock tires, which are Hankook Optimo.
I dont need "performance all season" to say, but I would like more traction for stopping than these Optimos.

rawger

Fuck I did it again..today just isn't my day.

Potenza pole position s-04's, I've had hankook ventus, bf Goodrich g-force, stockie michelins (which I rate on the bottom of all), overpriced conti's and many different types of potenzas and I have to say these pole positions have been my fav. Decent tire life, very quiet high speed highway driving, great grip and smooth ride.. Decent in rainy days too for here in orlando but when that pavement is hot these tires grip!!

Jaheri_cbp

Fork the extra for the s-04's trust me, unless Bridgestone has drastically changed their "re" series tires (my 04' wrx came stock with re-92's and I rate them the worst out of the potenzas I've ran) I would definitely get the s04's.

iCrap

Driving around today and i saw a TSX with hood vents like the ones OPboarding posted... and another TSX which had some ricy autozone LED strip on the front.

I guess the TSX is becoming a little too cheap... :/

rawger

I did. Hopefully I don't make these silly mistakes now that I'm on a computer.

*triple checks this sentence*

rawger

For some reason, ever since I got my TSX all I see on the roads now are BMW's. 1, 3, 5 and 7 series. Passed by and M5 on the way home.

TSXy Luster

That or former TSX owners have moved on from their leases.

Also, :eastcoast: lulz.

TSXy Luster

Enjoy your night, guys!

opboarding

Rolled down my window at a stop light and told a middle aged woman I liked her TSX. We then talked for a minute about how Acura was awesome and about the new TLX coming out.

This was in the hoity toity area by my office where being friendly with strangers is very un-Dallas like. We had a moment.

Harper

Who's that chick tsxy?

rawger

Did any variation of this go down?

opboarding

It was pretty much exactly like that!

iCrap

Ok so i just saw a SCION TC with i-VTEC - DOHC stickers on the side

WTF?

its very hard to see in the picture but you can see the spot behind the door where they are.

rawger

LOL. Taking rice to a whole nother level.

iCrap

I know. I WTFed hard as i pulled up beside it... "wait... that's not a civic si...."

rawger

I'm pretty sure she gave in as soon as you told her yours is a V6!

rawger

Lol, is that a pink plasti dipped grille?

At this point I'm hoping it was a girl driver at least...even then it doesn't make it that much better.
