Hi, can you recommend some snow tires that fit on the original Civic Touring rims?
Unfortunately most of the ones I've found are limited to only 120 - 130 mph :(

I live in Germany and thats a regular speed on the autobahn. Sometimes we get warmer days with good driving conditions in winter so I don’t want to limit my speed unnecessarily by using these tires

How’s the fuel economy cruising at 140 mph? I’d imagine a pebble could do major damage to a civic at 140mph…

I don’t even want to do over 110 in my Si. But then again, those speeds would put me in jail if I got caught.

Michelin high performance tires are all probably capable of the highest speed ratings, no?

You guys are wimps scared of doing even 110 mph are you serious. There is a man with a cvt civic sedan who can do 142 mph. I hit the speed limiter all the time and the car is perfectly fine. I plan to go even faster once i get ktuner to remove the speed limiter

? What are you talking about ? In europe most decent winter tyres have a V rating which means they can handle up to 240km/h (150mph).Depending on what size tyre you are using some even have a W rating which is 270km/h (170mph) .Unless you're talking about studded tyres which is never meant to drive fast anyway.

Everyone has big balls until a slight skid at high speed in the wrong direction.
