I finally decided to pull the trigger to upgrade my 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback (16” wheels - LX Trim) and bought a mint condition ‘17 Si Wheels (don’t judge; I still prefer the stock wheels over aftermarket, but I really don’t like the LX stock wheels).
I need some help though with the tires. Basically, I have a budget in mind and I really don’t want to spend any more than I have to, but at the same time, I want to make sure that I buy quality tires since that’s the only thing connecting my car to the road.
With that in mind, I’ve done my research and narrowed it down to a couple of tires. Since the Si Wheels are 18x8, I would like to ask some recommendations as to what set up to get:
1.) Nokian Zline A/S ------ 235/40/R18 (95W)
2.) Nokian Zline A/S ------ 225/40/R18 (92W)
3.) Nitto Neo Gen --------- 235/40ZR18XL (95W)
4.) Zeon RS3-G1 ------------235/40/R18XL (95W)
I know that that stock tires are 235/40/R18 so I’m thinking of keeping it that way, but with hours of research, some people still prefer to put in 225’s as the standard for 18” wheels. That basically means there’s not too much sidewall for the 225; hence your opinion.
Now, if you have any other tire recommendations, I’m all ears! I’ve seen people put in something like 245’s and lower it; not my thing, but any advice is highly appreciated!
