Just looking for a good, cheap deal on new tires... are these any good???

Would anyone recommend these??? I can't afford to have winters and summer so I would rather just go with all-seasons. I have a 2000 Honda Accord EX Coupe.

Price of getting brand new 16" tires would be $500+tax alone....

Seller says the tires and wheels are both compatible with my car but how do I make sure that is 100% true???

Are these summer only or all performance?? I think all performance from what I looked up. How are those rims?? How come tehy arent sold on tirerack?? I dont know if they'll look good on an all black 2000 accord coupe..

I am running 912's all around atm. They grip well on dry roads, good grip during acceleration, turns well if you don't accelerate at the same time. The cons are, tires will lose traction if you get on it while turning, on a really steep hill when raining, the tires will spin a lot if you are 5 speed, during hard cornering the tires feel soft.

Should I be worried when the seller says "The wheels have some curb rash and a minor bend but still holds air perfectly fine"

The real issue here is that the tire size is wrong, with them being 16's and having a 45 sidewall. Your car came with 205/60/16 from the factory.

Do you mean that it's a typo?? Or just bad tires

 

[RedRyder]

I mean if the tire size is what he posted, they are the wrong size for your car.

These are technically all season tires, however, they are a wannabe performance tire. I've had some issues on wet roads and seeing that you're in Toronto, I'm not sure how they'll perform in your upcoming snow months.

Not sure why they're not on tirerack, that's something to ask them. My most recent set of these tires I picked up about 3 months ago from Firestone. Installed, they ran me just shy of $500 with all the extra crap firestone sold me with them like extended warranty that covered sidewall damage.

In regards to turning, I haven't experienced this issue with my current and previous sets of ze912 tires. I found that they gripped well even during accelerating through a turn....of course, unless that turn was a hard right or hard left turn in some mountain or canyon road .

My loss of traction experience with these has been more so when it rains. I'm not sure if it was because there was too much water and hydroplaning was inevitable or if these tires just don't stick well in wet conditions. The hydroplaning I experienced wasn't so far gone to where I lost control of my car for an extensive amount of time, but rather short intervals here and there, but long enough to where if I wasn't holding onto the wheel something may have happened. To be fair though, when I experienced hydroplaning, the rain was pouring and there did appear to be a fair amount of water on the roads.

Stocks are 205/60/16, these are 205/45/16... what is the biggest issue??
