Default How do you roll?

So I am begining my quest for tires for my new AP2 wheels. I am just curious what you all run and how do you like them?

Please post sizes also.

I am looking at
-Falken FK452(someone recomended them)
-Kuhmo MX
-Hankook RS2

What do you all recommend?

Sizes:
225/45/17f
255/40/17r or 265/40/17r(recommended)

Thanks for the help? BTW It is for daily/Spirited driving.

I have no clue about other brands, i'm on my 3rd set of backs and second on fronts (41K miles) .. and i have always used Bridgestone Potenza Pole Positions 255/40/17's on the back and the regular OEM 215's on front, ask the more experienced drivers here most will agree this are one of the best, i might also tell you that dry or wet this pole positions are amazing on the rear .... there's other good brands but i have no experience with them ...

I had Hankooks on my rears at the moment of my accident and OEM Bridgestone on the front.

The set up was

215/45/17f
255/40/17r

225 in the front gives a little numbness to the steering feel. I ran 225 for almost a year and a half when I switched back to 2115 and I was amazed of how different it felt. I guess HONDA knows this also since the CR has the 215F/255R set up from factory.

I asked Jim at Tirerack for a recomendation and he hooked me up with goodyear f1 gs d3 on the rear. (on sale) Size 255 40 17. A tad more contact patch compared to oem and great performance wet and dry. I'm very happy with them. Also check out the rating on the front set of f1 gs d3 compared to oem. size 215 45 17 . More contact patch and the tread looks cool as hell.
