    I'll go out and check my tires. (The shop reccomended getting a little wider tire. ) They said it will handle smoother and get better launches. I have 13" Prelude Si rims that I use all year around. 2nd gen prelude if anyone wanted to know.


    edit: I have Yokohamama Avid T4's size: 185/70 R13

    Extra clarification. Not to step on anyone's toes but 88-89 LX-i's and the SE-i had 14's . All others are 13's.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.
