215/55-17?

The guy at discount tire said 18" wheels but I don't think that is right. I will report back after my lunch break which I am taking in 15.

They are at least 17"'s if not 18"'s though but tire rack seemed to say 17's.

Depends which model you have...check your tires and report back :)

Those Pirellis sound like very good tires and get great reviews/ratings. If you wanted to go a bit cheaper, you could check out the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum. Both currently have mail-in-rebates available on TireRack.

I put some sort of kumho's on my accord dd last time, they work ok, nothing special though. But that comparison doesn't do much as its totally different circumstances.

Anyway, tire size is 235/45/18.

That comparison does no good unless they were the same brand and line of tires.

Murlo, if you can look at set of Michelin's with a high silica content, they are excellent in the all weather conditions we have in this state and wear very well for the money.

Just remember, that even if a tire has a treadwear rating of 700, that typically means the tread is going to be stiffer than something lower which will result it decreased traction. Don't solely look at a tire as an option because of a high treadwear rating.

When I first got my evo8 I had continental ContiSportContact all-seasons. They were fantastic. Maybe look at something with not such a high wear rating as that will basically lead to more suck when the snow is deep and ice is present.

I didn't look at the P7's because of treadwear, only because I was recommended it at discount tire.

Looking through tire rack at my tire size, all the reviews seem to say the p7 is the best in its class and its priced reasonably compared to everything else.

I think I am probably going to jump on those, nothing else seems to be jumping out at me.

edit: ordered them, guess we will see what happens :)

I checked my tires too just now, the most I have is 4/32 and many spots are a bit below that, yikes.

4/32" is fine for most summer driving conditions, but smart move replacing them before the snow flies.
