Good Points

Astounding acceleration. Solid build. Street cred. Good fuel ecomony (for a performance car). Comfortable driving position.


Bad Points

I bought mine with Avon 205/50r15s. The handling is currently worse than my previous car (Citroen Saxo VTS).


General Comments

The Honda Acura Integra Type R is a great car. Astounding acceleration. Solid build. Street cred. Good fuel ecomony (for a performance car). Comfortable driving position. I am really writing this review as I want peoples opinions about which tyres to buy. Should I replace the Avons with Bridgestone Potenzas? (what the car came with when new), or try somthing like Goodyear Eagle F1s? (came first in EVO's tyres test in the latest issue). I only have a few weeks to decide, so please, please take the time to reply if you have an integra or can recommend a specific tyre.

    i would recommend the goodyear tyres, my friends say it has the best performance.

    Try a set of toyo's. Excellent tyres...Improve handling quite a bit.

    Potenzas are great but noisy. Goodyear F1s I heard are better.

    get some bridgestone potenza s-03s..wont go wrong

    You can't get S03s in 15". But i can really recommend the SO2's hard to find as they aren't made anymore but if you thought your saxo handled well your in for a real shock :)
