Honda Integra DC2 Tyres

A brilliant summer tyre with outstanding levels of grip when up to temperature. The traction and subsequently, the braking performance is also excellent on summer days. The side walls are stiff enough to give you good feedback through the corners and great confidence.
They are however quite noisy and are not suitable for anybody who is concerned with such comfort factors.
In the wet they are safe but not particularly confidence inspiring, i believe this is due to the harder compound as they hold up ok in summer rain with good tread depth, but as the temperature drops i prefer to go with a softer rain tyre.
A good description would be as a high performance/track tyre for the road which gives a good idea of what they are designed for. However the price is far more reasonable than similar offerings such as the Yokohama AD08s.

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 :-)

I've not driven too hard, about 12000 miles over two but had some fun at times and they're ready for changing now which I think is fair. Only really strugled in the wet and the snow.

Good wall protection for your alloys.

Good value for money in the dry where I felt relatively safe thrashing them round a corner.

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.

Disgusting tires should be banned from sale.
They ride rock hard.
They have NO grip in the wet even with a 1600 automatic they slip and spin at the touch of the throttle.
I now drive a turbo skyline and id be scared to even rev that car with them.
Luckily ive got UHP tires on the skyline and have upgraded to Eagle F1 GSD3 for the integra.
Yuck!
