Default Federals adn Falken! Check it out...

Anyone ahve any feedback regarding thse tires...

Federal ss 595's or Falken 452's? HOw are htey? good? shitty? sternghts weakness etc.

BTW, to prevent the Bubble look on teh sidewall should i get 215 45 17 and 245 40 17 or it depends on teh tire brand in whch case I can run 225 45 17 and 255 40 17 adn still not have taht bubble look. Thanks!

They are both crappy choices. I am not sure what you mean by "bubble" --post a pic maybe? I can definitely tell you that how they fit will depend solely on how wide your wheels are, which is not given anywhere in your post.

On honda tech they said its good tires. Bubble looking meaning the sidewall looking fat instead of a low profile look. I'm not home 2 post pic. Any tires u recommend?

615's... 215/45 F and 255/40 R I got them for <$600

I dunno about the rain since I don't drive this car in the winter. You might want to check the Neovas or RE-01R's

The 225/45 Azenis give a bubble look. Search for azenis and some folks noted the "bubble" look. Plus the 215 are cheaper and weigh less too. Contact patch is 0.3" more for the 225. So why pay more for 0.3"??
