Best Tyres for the Honda Integra DC2

Had those tyres fitted to two of my cars when i bought them.
A Delta Integrale EVO 1 and a Honda Integra DC2 Type R.

Both almost new, and the rubber was fresh. The cars were in tip top condition, new bushings, suspensions and properly aligned and what I have to say about those tyres is pretty bad.
They are properly scary in the wet and close to useless. I had the begining though both cars were starting to be dated but when i switched to some other tyres the grip level went up...a lot !

Good tyres for dry otherwise but in the wet they are very dangerous and will slide out with out warning with a very low grip level. I did 4000km with them on both and ditched them that's how bad they were in the wet.

I've had these tyres for a few weeks now. They are pretty decent for the price. Corners well and handles pretty good in the wet. Down side is the side walls seem to be very firm. They do not soak up bumps well. Road noise I can't really comment on as I have an exhaust fitted but for the most part they aren't noisy to me.

I bought these tyres for my Honda Integra Type R (1996).

All I can say is WOW, the first time I pushed them after wearing them in, was in the wet and could not believe the amount of "first gear launch" grip. It gripped just like my old tyres did in the dry, but in the wet!
The wet grip is the best I have ever experienced from a tyre.

The dry grip, still, absolutely outstanding, far better than a lot of tyres I have used, I would say probably the best for the road! The only downside is that the sidewalls are a bit soft, so you will notice a bit of "tyre roll" when flicking in and out of bends.

These tyres are very soft, so don't expect them to last a huge amount of time, for me they still last long enough to keep me from complaining.
The downside to the softness, is when using these in a track environment, they will get TOO hot and will start melting away and losing you grip, as for the road though, these are the best you can buy.

I have just bought two more of these for the front wheels on my TDI Ibiza to see how they grip with the 300ft lb of torque, if I am happy, I will replace the rears with these also.

These were fitted to my DC2 when I bought it and I hated them. The grip is just about OK in the dry but they are not progressive at all, they just suddenly let go. They are absolutely hopeless in the wet. The DC2 isn't renowned for its torque but it would spin the wheels in third. I have an aftermarket diff fitted and it was terrible in the wet with these tyres. When I replaced the Federals with Avon's the car was so much better in the wet. I would never buy these tyres again! You have been warned!

I previously ran Hankook RS-2s (three full sets over the last few years) and was annoyed that were no longer available as i felt they suited the car really well, but i wasn't interested in spending significantly more on something like Yokohama AD08s.

I saw theses at a comparative and very reasonable price, so figured id take a punt.

So far, grip levels in the dry have been fantastic, in fact i would say greater than what i experienced from the hankooks. This came as a surprise as id expected to see a drop in dry at the gain of wet performance, both from what i had read and what i was looking for (found the hankooks fairly poor in the wet).

The sidewall is softer so there is a little more flex on turn in, but it's by no means a ruiner and the amount of grip more than makes up for it.
Initially i ran them at the same pressures as the RS-2 and they were a bit too soft and flexed too much, but since upping the pressures by a couple of psi, im now very happy with there responsiveness and there is plenty of feedback through the wheel.

I've yet to try them in the wet, but would be very surprised if the were any worse.

Having had a set of a lesser brand on my Integra and hopeless wet weather (and dry, limit, driving) it was time to change.

Having read reviews of the Michelin PS3s online I thought I would take a punt! Safe to say, Im glad I did!

Wet weather grip is incredible. Easily as good if not better than my previous setin the dry! In the dry they grip like nothing else and combined with the LSD, cornering is exceptional.

I havent had the tyres long so cant comment on how they wear but with their performance, Im not caring how long they last!

Not being the cheapest (or most expensive) option for my wheels, I will quite happily buy again.

these tyres are excellent, check out this link for full reviews of them.

Good all round fast road tyre, low wear, stiff sidewall, nice quality.

Nothing short of OUTSTANDING.

I've never experienced grip levels of this sort on a FWD car. every aspect of the tyres grip and response was superior to any other road tyre available. feed back is one of the Honda Integra TypeR DC2's strong points, and by jove do you fell every little thing that the car is doing with these beasts on.

In the dry it is nearly impossible to get the car to actually understeer! which is aided by the car, however the drive is second to none. In the wet it is a different story, I have experienced considerable understeer and aqua-planing during heavy to treacherous downpours. However this is under spirited driving which i suppose is not advised. In damp to wet conditions they are OK - average , in other words i wasn't massively impressed.

Overall however they are something else, these tyres are built for fast road and track driving and they inspire confidence which is unrivaled by any other tyre i have tried and experienced to date. If you want the best feedback, grip and response available from your cars performance you can'y get better than these tyres. I'm pretty sure I have even achieved 0-60 sprint times as fast if not marginally faster than Hondas supposed (6.5secs) fastest times in a DC2 due to excess grip levels.

In addition I have taken them off for winter with 4mm of tread left, the reason being... I want to keep them for the track this summer :-)

This tyre would be excellent on a family saloon or normal A-B car, I made the costly mistake of £300 of putting them on my Integra Type R, basically it is like driving around on marshmallows they are so soft, the great turn in to the bends has totally disappeared from the car and it is now indirect. You can actually feel the car rocking on the soft sidewalls! As I mentioned they are an excellent tyre for a standard car, iron out the potholes, grippy in the wet/dry and will last for ages. Do NOT buy if you have a sports car as these tyres will not suit at all. I have learned my lesson. They have only been on the car a week but they have to come off.
