I've tried several different setups myself. I'm currently on stock wheels with 255/35/20 Michelin PS4s. This is my new summertime cruise mode for traveling to music venues all summer. Much nicer ride than the stock setup. This will give you a 3mph error at 65-70. So your speedo will read 65 and the radar detector (using GPS) says you're doing 68. This will also make the car feel a little mushy in the harder corners which I usually refrain from with this setup. No torque steer evident. Kind of turns the car into more of a sportster model if you will.Hello friends,
I recently got ahold of a type R, and this discussion of torque steer has been on my mind. It's been said that deviating from OEM wheel and tire size will facilitate torque steer since Honda Engineers designed the set up to eliminate/almost eliminate torque steer.
I see everyone on the forums get all these crazy different tire and wheel set ups, but nobody seems to talk about the torque steer. Anyone have an "ideal"
wheel and tire set up?
My goals are to use the car on canyon drives, both cruising and fast. I live in a mountain area with very little traffic, so its easy for me to "shred" the streets.
I also have a set of Motegi 924 wheels (19" +53) with Michelin PS4AS 255/35/19. These are my regular tires for 9 months of the year. Almost no. speedo error but they are just a shade bigger than the stock setup because of the 255 width. No torque steer with this setup either. Tires are really good all-around tires for me. Still have most of the turn in responsiveness of the stock setup and not that mushy feeling as the summer setup in hard corners. Of course you'll lose grip first with all season tires. All in all a nice nimble feeling to the car with better acceleration ( less tire/wheel weight ). I wouldn't hesitate to try either the Conti or Michelin summer tires with these wheels ( or similar spec like NSX) or ADVAN.
And of course the stock setup. Which just for the record I really liked for the first 3K miles. Really hated the crunch/bang of the bumps and what they do to the car. I live on fairly decent roads I can just imagine what it's like in MI and other places out east.
