New to the site
Someone stuck a card to this site on my windshield Saturday. Thought I would check this out.
I do have a couple questions though. It's time to replace the tires. I was thinking about KUMHO ECSTA SUPRA 712's - Z-rated . I haven't really liked the Potenza SO-2's that came on it. Anybody have any opinions on this. ALso, has anyone had any problems with the drivers' window not going all the way down when the top is lowered ? I have had both the window module and top lowering module replaced. It worked fine for awhile but it's starting to give me problems again.
Thanks...T

Even though I'm not in your area, welcome to our little corner of the world. Most everyone is welcome here and we try to be on our best behaviour, for the most part. There is a wealth of information about our cars to be had here if you don't mind searching around for it.
You will find that a fair number of people have tried the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 and I think that it would be a longer wearing alternative to the OEM S02's. Most of the folks that have tried them are satisfied with them. Almost no tires have the stickiness of the OEM tires, but they do wear quickly. A trade off that most drivers are willing to make. I really like the S02's, but my car is a daily driver, and I don't want to be in the new tire business twice a year, if I can avoid it.
I had my driver's side window regulator replaced on my S last fall and it's been behaving itself since then (8000 miles). Mine went bad at 1500 miles and I put up with the inconvience of no auto down until Honda said they fixed the problem. I also had the clutch replaced on the TSB and what a difference that made. Honda has a TSB 054 for buzzing sounds on deceleration from 4000 to 2000 rpm. Mine was so loud, I couldn't stand the noise any longer, and I had it replaced at about 17,000 miles.

Welcome to the board. There is a lot of info including studies comparing the Kumho in the Tire Rack forum. Just click on the fourums and then Tire Rack. Good luck Khumo MX seems to be the one to have now

OK!!! I was using Ron's computer and logged him off TWICE, and logged on as me, but it didn't recognize me. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Just so the "husband" remark above doesn't look too strange, I wanted to let you know it was ME (smcoy, Ron's wife) who posted above.
Oh well....the welcome is still sincere!
