I'm a City owner, and the OEM tires were terrible and noisy. Since switching to UC6s, I have zero complaints.
my biggest complaint, and probably my only real one, is the road noise. The interior can be pretty loud, especially on the freeway. I’m fairly confident that most of this comes down to the stock tires, because otherwise the car feels tight and well put together.
Usually it is recommended to replace the tyre for puncture on the shoulder or the sidewall but it is a very small nail. Personally I would get it repaired and move it to the rear.
Throw some studded tires on and you’ll be fine. I made it back to Saskatchewan after a blizzard in Banff Alberta where it snowed 10” of slush. It was a slow drive dragging through the snow.
All that carbon fiber to make it light and easy to flick into corners - yet bro's never been past 15° lean. Waste of good rubber.
Yearly, some of the big expenses are tires (1000 a set if you buy the OEM tire from Honda) and gas (gets around 20-25 depending on where and how you drive).
Sure, for about 12k miles.
Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.
My little Honda Fit is so light that even with good snow tires I can't get anywhere if the roads are slick.
They're Chinese junk. They sorta work, but have 20% less traction and 50% less lifetime.
