Newcastle has a great set up and I've heard good things about his tires. He did go a bit wider then stock though. From 225 to 245.
I'd also look into some Kuhmos or BF Goodrich. Both of those are supposed to be comparable as well. www.tirerack.com usually has some good prices / reviews on tires.

i think i'm spending way to much money alittle too fast here. i need tires but i might be able to skimp past a few more months. the fronts still look ok, but the backs have started to ware pretty low.still second guessing my latest project, nothing to do but get it done or stop worrying about it i guess..

Hey guys we HAVE to do a last cruise soon. I just got word that I will get deployed with the Air Force (I'm Navy) to Iraq. I'm going to be gone for almost 2 years (300 days in Flight school 365 at Iraq). While I'm there the 8 will be in Florida with my Dad. So we have to have a meet. I'm not sure when I'm leaving but I know is next month some time.

OMG Honda: We definitely need to get a cruise going!
How about a cruise and a bbq at someone's place afterwards? C'mon guys, this will be like the "Series Finale" of the Malibu Cruise. One last opportunity to see everyone's cars, take pictures, check out the scenary, and say our goodbyes to Kwesctt, Hondas, and X-ped.
