Prelude Type SH rims *tires? - Honda Prelude Forum

shukuchi_2003 · 09-19-2002, 01:41 AM

I have worn out my tires. What brand of tires are good? What tires are on the s2000's? Are they good for our ludes?
I'm planning on sticking with the SH rims, which type of tires are most suitable for our cars?

Thanks

s2ks have bridgestone potenza s02.. supposedly they're not that good.. the s03s are better i think.. *shrug*

What exactly are you asking? If you want to go top of the line go with SO3's or Michelin Pilot Sport's.

My friend's got the SO3's and says they're pretty good. I've got the Yoko avs es100 which aren't that bad either. But I don't auto-x nor drag a lot with them, they're just for driving

I have Federal 535's, they feel pretty good and have the extra lip that protects your rim in case you curb your car. Haven't needed to use it yet, but it is there just in case.

i've heard that potenza's s-02 will be discontinued or has discontinued, please confirm. I know most of the s2k people has changed to s-03 or some others. I just got my pirelli p-zero and i can tell immediately they are really grippy. when i read the reviews on tirerack, some are saying that they wear out fast but everyone comment on the grip. One prelude owner even said he put 30k Miles on the set too. I think it all depends on how you drive and since most of those people are driving porsche and corvettes they must spin and burn a lot with their tires. it's a lil expensive though, but i think the treads are sexy.

If you want to go cheap, try the Kuhmos Escta Supra 712s, but I heard different reviews on those.
Next, try Bridgestone RE730s. You get the name brand for the money.
But don't every waste money on Bridgestone RE92s

Niffum · 09-19-2002, 03:57 PM

And yeah, check out www.tirerack.com for more on them...

NtPReLuDe · 09-19-2002, 04:00 PM

What ever you do, don't settle for the Kumho 7-11's mine wore out in less then 10k miles

I have the Nitto NT-450's. They are pretty nice and handle great. A few squeeks every now and then. Gonna test them at the track this weekend. Also, I like the way they look.

soccer3303 · 09-19-2002, 09:31 PM

I have RE-730's and they are amazing compared to the 92's. I highly recommend. They look better, feel better, and handle better in rain and dry..

98TypeSH · 09-19-2002, 09:45 PM

For the price the Kuhmos Escta Supra 712s are good tires

krayzieLuDeR501 · 09-19-2002, 10:29 PM

get the potenza Z-rated ones.....i have them and they are great

cowboijeff · 09-19-2002, 10:34 PM

R&T didnt like the S2k with the S0-2's they thought it should have the S0-3's on it

blackbb6 · 09-19-2002, 10:39 PM

***NEVER WASTE YOU MONEY ON Khumo Ectas 711, they suck A$$. They wore out in like 3 months for me!!

Now I have the 712's and they are a great tire for the money!! Good wear but not a good rain tire!

BoYgUaN · 09-19-2002, 11:29 PM

um the specs on s02's in dry are much better than s03's...the s02's are great tires but wear out really fast and they dont make them anymore. the s03's are the replacements and some people say that s02's are better in dry still...s03''s dont preform da same way

Thanks
