Question about 18s...

Is the only option on the A-Spec 18" wheels SUMMER tires?? I'm thinking about putting them on, but the summer tires seem very impractical. I had 18" wheels on my 04 Maxima but they had All-Season tires...??

I have Pirelli Zero Nero M&S (all-season) on my 18s. So far, nice.

But Acura doesn't offer an All-Season tire for the 18s, right? Seems kinda silly...

What do BMW and Mercedes offer for tires with their 18" wheels?

so don't get a-spec model, save the $$$, get some aftermarket rims and tires, then you can choose your suspension compoents.

with the purchase of new car, most dealers will mount the tires for free if you buy a new set. a good tire is Falken Ziex-512.

Thanks, but I'm not into aftermarket stuff. Different tires, ok... but not the rims, or anything else.

You could get the 18s with summer tires, and keep your 17s and put dedicated snows on them for winter.

Buy the Acura wheels from an Internet Acura parts dealer (your choice). Run the wheels up to a tire shop and get your choice of tires. You'll probably save money and get exactly what you want!
