Originals tires are poor, Why ?

[latole]

I always read on many car magazines, most are Canadian, originals tires on Civic are very poor.
These are Hankook Kinergy GT.

What is your opinion ?

Some answer here if you scroll down; Did you agree ?

I switch out my Hankook's when I got my aftermarket wheels with Pirelli's and now it drives like a totally different car. Much smoother, better handling and just feels overall better. I guess Honda just wanted to save money. The Hankook tires weren't bad they just weren't really great at anything imo.

Sure Honda want to save.

Wich Pirelli ? P Zero , P 7 ? I had Michelin Defender on previous car, not Honda.

Thank's for answer.

Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus. Awesome tires, I was also looking at Michelin's but I got a better deal on these

I bet there's a better answer but that's really the only one I can think of lol

At my tire dealer;

Pirelli Cinturato P7 ; $156 CND
Yokohama Avid Acend ; $149.88 CND with postal rabate of $70 cnd
Toyo Versado ; $145,99 CND with posta rabate of $60 cnd

Any opinon ?

I found Kinergy GTs to be decent. Ample dry grip for a 150hp commuter car, great in the rain, obviously sketchy in snow. But for a stock tire, I'm happy with them.

I also agree the Pirelli Cinturato All Season Plus is an excellent tire. I bought them for my Accord Sport and preferred them over the factory Michelins. They had a smoother ride, were great in winter, and handled exceptional. They are rated #1 at Tirerack for grand touring all season. As there are two versions of the P7all season, the better of the 2 is the all season plus.

Agree w/others on the Pirelli Cintuarto P7s. Had them on my old car, convinced my dad to get them on his Outback too lol. Great all-around tire IMO.

Great in snow, good grip, quiet, smooth, long treadlife.

I put on my summer UHPs I kept from my old car (Potenza RE760) I think, and my fuel economy has dropped by ~1L/100km.

I can't tell if it's the stickier tires, or if it's because I now drive around corners like an asshole :/

Or because of the nice weather that we've been having!

I'm happy for you, you save money. All reviews say they are not very good, you don't read that with Pirelli or Michelin

I find the stock Continental Contiprocontact on the sport isn't too grippy either. In the snow it was absolutely terrible, but even in the dry, the tires would spin.

 

[latole]

I just looking for a summer or all season tires, I use winter tires in Quebec

 

[Froz3nTundra]

The continentals on my sport aren't too bad, soft as all hell and they probably won't last 20k miles but they ride nice and stick halfway decent.

Not sure what I'll put on next, possibly Nokian's or Pirelli's.

I dont find the Continentals on my Sport Touring to be too bad. Although a bit noisy, I find them pretty grippy when taking curves and cornering, even on wet roads.
