Tires SUMITOMO or OEM Honda

OEM Honda Tires

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.

Pros: extremely versatile, handles like go kart
Vehicle: Honda Fit

I had Falken 512s on a Miata and I hated them. Very noisy at and before the limit. For Foxes, I've always gone with 185/60/14s. Not any real reason. It was the stock size for the Rabbit GTI and it doesn't throw the speedo off too much, which doesn't really matter on a Fox. The profile also looks natural; the sidewall isn't too short or too tall. And the 185 width isn't too wide; not a bad thing on a car that has no power steering. But you should be fine with any similar size. On my current Fox, I have these Sumitomo HTR A/S P01s. I like them a lot. They're a great all around tire. Very quiet, wonderful in the rain, rides nicely and handle well. I'd like a little more dry grip, but, really for a street tire these are great. I had these BF Goodriches on the Fox I sold last summer. They were noisier than the Sumitomos and the steering feel felt a touch heavier, but they were also a nice all around tire and perhaps a bit grippier than the Sumitomos or at least they gave that impression.

Pros: very quiet, wonderful in rain
Cons: less dry grip

175/60 but they have better traction and ride better than the sumitomos to me. I love them and couldn't be happier.

Pros: better traction, better ride

We've switched to Sumitomo HTR A/S P01s. They're pretty good in the snow, believe it or not, and they're quiet and comfortable without giving up too much in handling. Very impressed so far.

Pros: quiet and comfortable
Cons: giving up too much

I have the 185/60-13's and the sidewall is super flimsy as well. I couldn't complain on the price though!

Pros: good price
Cons: super flimsy sidewall
