Google 88Rotors Inc. in El Monte. Tell them what tire size you are looking for and say "you saw their post on Honda-Tech Forum." they are giving smoking deals on Falkens right now and they ship. If you're in the LA area just drive down there and they will mount and balance them for 10 bucks a wheel.

Lol yeah but I live 5,000 feet in the mountains and last year I think we had 18" of snow. I wish I could buy summer and winter tires but I don't have the moola. I'm just in a little predicament

but thanks for the help!

$60 a tire... you are not going to get much out of a $60 a piece tire... well not what you want out of the..... look more in the $100 a tire range for what you want

the Falken Ziex's are garbage in the the snow and wet

ok I guess i'll just hang on to the sorry balding tires as long as i can untill i can afford new decent ones. I don't want to ask for too much now, but what are some good $100 tires?

I've ran the Falken Ziex 912 tires I have in the snow and rain and they do fine. They used to be $126 a tire last year, not sure why they're so cheap now, but I personally would get them again with no worries.

Why the switch for everyone to all-seasons, if I tire doesn't say "Unsafe to drive under 35F" might as just have all seasons and forgot winter tires.

I use all-seasons because I drive over 100 miles every day to work. I find they're safer to run in the rain and when there is ice out.

I do still swap out for snow tires for the winter months, but when they linger on and we get ice/snow in April, it's nice to have all-seasons on my summer rims.
