I am going to install mine on my 2019 Si in about a month but it's too early yet. It's not cold enough here on the east coast of Canada. I'll be going with Michelin X-Ice XI-3 215/50R17 on a new set of 17x7.5 RTX Envy wheels in Matte Gunmetal. I'm looking forward to seeing how these perform for my first winter with my very first Honda vehicle I've ever owned.

I just swapped mine yesterday. 235/45R18 Michelin Cross Climates. Smoother ride but a huge change on handling.

Remember it’s not about snow on the road, it’s temperature.

The recommendation is to swap to winter hoops when the temperature is at or below 7 Celsius or 45 Fahrenheit.

Summer compounds essentially turn to hockey pucks below the said temps drastically reducing performance.

Not looking forward to the reduction in performance..... necessary evil, winter sucks.

Going with Pirrelli winter ice zeros 245/40/18 on cheap rims made by some company call RWC.

I just did a test fit for some cheap wheels, like really cheap.. Envy EV-5 wheels fit with maybe about 1-2 mm of clearance between front caliper and spokes. Going to run 225/45/18 Yokohama or General tire tires.

We should be seeing those daytime temps around my area in about a month or so, that's when the winter setup goes on; 225/45R18 Michelin X-Ice Xi3 tires on cheapo 18x8 wheels. I've ran this setup for 2 winters already and it works great.

18x9 +35 on 245/40/18 Michelin PS A/S 3+

Handling is not 100% of stock but it is close enough to still have a ton of fun. Had lower hopes in terms of performance but these tires are probably the best all-seasons.

I installed my winter setup over the weekend. 18x8 w/ 245/40/18 Michelin Ice-X snow tires. Love how it turned out, not bad for a winter set up.

I've got P5 Sport Edition Anthracite 18's, with Michelin X-Ice3. I freaking love the Michelins, totally worth it! Temps here are still in the 60s during the day, and at night drop to the 20's. When I leave for work the temp is between 18-38.

Were these posted on craigslist in the mid-atlantic for $1100 coming off of a CW CTR? Saw them on there a couple weeks ago
