Default omg another flat

my rear right yokohama went flat with a nail in the sidewall last summer.

i replaced my tires with michellins for the winter and the same corner went flat just recently. i don't know the cause yet, so i have to take it in to the tire shop and see whats up.

so now i'm thinking of replacing the rears with my front summer yokohama tires, since i don't have a quick alternative. the front michellin all seasons handle fine in the snow, i'm concerned about how the rear will react with summer compound tires. should i be worried too much about oversteer? i drive an rsx, thanks in advance!

did you say snow?



just buy the matching all-season tires and chalk it up to bad luck. why put the icing on the cake by wrapping your S around a pole?

I feel your pain. I had to replace both of my S02's this past weekend prematurely due to an unrepairable puncture in the passenger side tire.

Who me?

Only one of the tires were damaged. The set was worn down to nearly the wearbars. Both were replaced to keep the back end "even". I didn't want to have to come in 3 months later to do just the "other" tire.
