I've been running Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 on my identical car for about the last 8,000 miles—greatly improved handling over the Goodyears that came with the car and slightly reduced road noise. Yes, your gas mileage is going to go down if that's important to you at all. I'm really happy with...

Mine runs about 1.5 mpg higher than reality. 33-34mpg in normal driving. 39-40 normal highway. Have a handful of full tank highway runs that are north of 45mpg and one north of 50mpg.

We've had at least one Honda in the house since 1988 and had only one recall on a car before my '19 Si. My 1988 Civic DX was recalled because the rear hatches were rusting so badly that they wouldn't pass inspection. No Japanese car company had figured out how to rustproof a car for sale in...

Oh, where is that function on the screen? You might have just taught me something new about me car 40,000 miles in.

I don't know how this works where you live, but in Pennsylvania, you have to sign over the title of your car before the car is totaled and the insurance company can get a salvage title for it. Sounds like it's time to lawyer up.

Progressive is awful to deal with. What they found isn't damage in any sense of the word. It's not even wear and tear, it's just dirt. Tell them their offer is insufficient and that you are willing to file a complain with your state insurance commissioner over it. I've done that the one time...

I ran one in my 2019 Si for about a year and saw how much dirt it wasn't stopping. Went back to a Purolator filter.

On the highway in a stock '19 Si I am usually in the 37-40 range with one ride on the Ohio Turnpike stuck in a never-ending line of tractor-trailers I saw 51 mpg. In stop-and-go traffic I've seen as low as 23mpg. I recently swapped out the original Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season tires for...

Yes, with a manual transmission I do it all of the time. It's very hilly where I live so engine braking is almost mandatory unless I want to replace brake pads every 10,000 miles. Let the car coast down a long 7 or 8-degree grade in 4th gear or even in 3rd on a longer 10-15-degree grade. Been...

The dealer actually thought the antenna issue was in play and did a full diagnostic when I had the car in for its annual state inspection. They couldn't get the spare fob to work at all even after changing the battery yet again, so they ordered a new fob and are running the paperwork to get the...

After four years with my '19 Civic SI Sedan, I'm starting into the wear-and-tear phase of ownership. Tires, brakes, the usual stuff. What I wasn't prepared for was my new battle with key fobs. Both of the ones in use right now are original with the car and both are giving me fits. Within...

Not totaled. Even if the condenser took a hit you're good. As long as you didn't set off the airbags or the damage doesn't reach about $9000 or so on that model you're good.

Was involved in a horrible T-bone accident back in '15 where an older gentleman in a Chevy Lumina hit me so hard that it tore the front end of my Camry off the car at the firewall. The State Police Accident Investigator who came to the house said that if I had been driving his Ford Explorer I'd...

They are now listed as Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. $210.99 at Tire Rack

Where Costco is winning is manufacturer's rebates and install prices. Just bought Michelin Pilot Sport 4 AS for $843.96 installed and out the door. Of that, $79.96 was for installation. Tire Rack charges $96 for the same service through a local Discount Tire location. Costco tires also come...

I've put about 500 miles on the new Sport 4 AS and I am sold. The handling is back and the tire noise is down. We'll see how much wear I get out of them on the less-than-smooth Western PA roads. I love the balance of the Si. In odd ways, it reminds me of the mid-80s to mid-90s BMW 3 Series in...

Present generation Type R is getting up there in price when you consider the dealer markups. I love my '19 Si and I'd probably go that route is something happened to my present ride. It's not a flat-out hot rod, but it reminds me a great deal of the mid-1990s BMW 3 Series. It sneaks up on a...

Actually, the BF Goodrich Comp-2 were a step back from what was left of the original Goodyears. Couldn't hit an apex with them to save my life. MASSIVE understeer. I'm comparing the data on the dashboard in terms of Gs and lap time over a given segment of road in nearly identical conditions...

I have about 100 miles on the Michelins and the difference is night and day. The car rides way smoother and the handling in regular or sport mode has returned. These actually feel slightly better than the original Goodyears in hard cornering and braking. Will be interested to see how these...
