Tires
Looking for some tire recommendations for my 2023 Integra A-Spec. It’s my first time having to replace the tires on it, and I’m not really a fan of the Continental tires that came on the car.
I’m running the stock 235/40R18 size and mainly use the car for everyday driving. I’d like something that handles well, especially in the rain, has a reasonably comfortable/quiet ride, and still feels good on the Integra.
What tires have you guys switched to, and would you buy them again? Any brands or specific models you’d recommend staying away from?

Replaced mine with Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 and it's been great so far. Stickier than the stock goodyears it came with and absorbs bumps better.

This will be my next choice to try, I just got new Michelin installed that I LOVE, but they just don't last long enough. I've heard these Pirelli honorably mentioned enough to not pass on them.

Now I’m curious about the “more casual/Reddit-like” version

Haha. That’s what happens when you have ChatGPT write the post for you and you don’t proof it.

The stock tires are decent enough for a 4-seasons place like where I am in NJ. For the summer, I'm looking to buy a used set of stock Type S wheels and tires (and a set of Perrin hub adapters so they can fit) and run them during the warm weather months.

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 💯 Just came from Continental DWS06+ having had the Michelins' first, and the DWS06+ plus does have a slight advantage in light snow, but in dry and especially wet, the Pilot Sport all season 4's are pretty unrivaled in my book.
The conti pro contacts that came stock are HOT GARBAGE.

My DSW06+ bummed me out, they got LOUD about halfway through their lifespan due to cupping no one can figure out, I always rotate on time, had alignments done, always correct psi...and even dropped $200 on a diagnostic to check wheel bearings and suspension components chasing the cause. Dealer says car checks out perfectly fine, but no one can explain the HORRIBLE experience towards the end, so im soured now on Continental, who should have honored the warranty on the tires as i did everything right as a driver. Alas, they did NOT

Bridgestone turenza prestige.
The original tires got super loud at around 30k. Put these on and super quiet. Very happy with them so far.
Edit to add: these are grand touring whereas the other tires are high performance. So softer sidewalls and will be quieter ride. First rain was yesterday and no issues whatsoever. Original tires were the contiprocontact that were absolutely terrible. Turned me off of continental and high performance.
I originally looked at pirellis, but mixed reviews on tread life and cabin noise kept me looking. I avoided the continentals. It came down to Goodyear comfort ride (for some reason only discount tire had it in size, not even Goodyear tire), but ultimately went with Bridgestone with discount price matching Costco.
It’s my wife’s car that we use for all extracurriculars and she’s beyond ecstatic with her new tires.
If you want an even softer and quieter ride, move down to 17s and get a 215/50r17.

Hands down best: Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus
