I'm not sure if this was meant for us or not but if it is we would be happy to help. What are you looking for in a tire? Wet traction, dry traction, life, comfort? How many miles a year do you drive. What size are you looking for, if you know? If not what is the exact year and model of your Prelude?

I have a 98 base model and the tire size im going to buy is 215/35/18 because i bought 18x8 msr wheels.

I'm looking for brand opinions because i never bought this size of tires and brand new wheels. and since I'm lowering the car+putting 18" wheels I would like to put good tires too. I used before Falken ziex on a del sol 205/40/16 and they were ok but when it rain the traction wasnt that good, the car is my daily driver from monday thru friday and I drive arround 50 miles every day.

thanks Luis

Thank you for the information!

I have a couple more questions for you. What is the offset on your wheels? How much will you be lowing the vehicle? It sounds like the 215/35-18 size will be good for you I just want to make sure you don't run into any unexpected issues. So you are driving over 12K miles a year and you want a tire that will have good wet traction. Will your vehicle ever see any snow? I know you live in Florida but I have to ask

Was there any other key features you were looking for out of your tires? Will your vehicle be seeing any track days?
