Honda Fit parts reviews

Here are my initial impressions:

Pros:

a) Quieter than the Dunlop Super Sport 7000s that come stock. This could be because my stock tires were showing some surficial cracks in the rubber, although this complaint is normal. The stock tires crap out within 50,000 km anyhow.

e) Good rain performance...no issue with braking during rainfall on these tires.

Cons:

a) Sizing of the stock tires means that the tires will follow the downslope direction of the road crown, even if it's a minor one (this is partially due to the short wheelbase and hyper sensitive steering rack). I got my tires aligned after the install, before the alignment brigade chimes in.

Overall, I am very happy with the tires. They work as advertised and didn't tear a hole in a my wallet. They are a valid option for those seeking new tires for the Fit.

Mobil 1 full synth, or castrol full here as well, and usually their filters.. Yearly oil changes for me by my driving, and I change the filter every oil change instead of every other

I've used Sumitomo and Kumhos performance summer tires with success - although the Kumho PA31's I put on the Fit have worn super fast and are now quite loud.

I have Nankang Toursport 611's and they work brilliant in the dry and acceptable in the wet And w/ a 500 tread wear rating, they have like a 50,000 mile warranty.

My wife DDs a 2007 Fit. It has been bulletproof with only regular oil changes and tires. The folding rear seats are one of the highlights of the car and make it extremely versatile. It gets 35+ mpg all day long and handles like a go kart. She loves it.

The Fit is an awesome car. I have an 09 that has ~66k miles and NOTHING has gone wrong. Just the scheduled maint., oil changes (10-12k miles), and thats it.

The new tires I bought for the Fit's OEM wheels are Hankook Ventus V4 ES. An initial test drive in the Fit was great - smooth, quiet, actually much better at soaking up bumps with these 205/50R16's than with my Yoko 185/70R14 snow tires, which surprised me.
