    Costco TT Premium

    Both my wife and I use Costco TT gas and have no issues. Sometimes I will fill up at Shell across the street if the Costco station is closed, however we don't see any drop off on MPG or performance. 2010 Honda Civic EX 2008 Acura TL Base

    New Altimax RT43 Owner

    My wife and I both have these tires on our cars. I have over 50K on them and she has almost 60k on her set of tires. The last time we had our oil changed she had 5/16 tread left and I have 7/16 tread left. We do rotate them every other oil change. These tires are perfect for my wife's 2010 Honda...

    General RT43 or Conti TrueContact Tour

    I have been running the RT43's on my 08 Acura TL for 4 years. The treadwear has been outstanding. Wet and dry very good and in light snow is also very good as well. I choose this tire because of the fact I drive a lot of miles for work and really wanted something that will handle all seasons and...

    I've Narrowed it Down to 4 Tires

    +1 for General RT43. My wife and I have them on both of our cars. They handle well in rain and snow. Very good treadwear. For the price, it is hard to beat. 2010 Honda Civic 2008 Acura TL

    Odd situation. What would you do?

    I have the General Altimax RT43 on my Acura TL and the tires do well in wet and snow. The ride is good. I too hit a pothole and took it to tire discounters where they replaced the tire with their road hazard warranty. So I would recommend doing that. It has saved me more than once over the years.

    New Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax

    Any thoughts on how long this product would last on the front windshield? I'm curious if it would perform like RainX.

    New member -- Acura -- oil/filter???

    Yes. I currently own a 2008 Acura TL and use 5w-20 Maxlife with a Wix filter. Previously used Mobil 1 syn blend from the dealership until they changed oil to Gulf Brand. Maxlife has done well with no issues.

    Chemical Guys Jetseal or another Sealant?

    I have used rejex sealant before many times. The key is too get the surface really clean and use a clay bar. Rejex goes on easy and comes off about the same as any other wax. My experience is that Rejex lasts almost a year on your cars paint. Now on the windshield I would say it lasts up to 3-4...

    Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3

    Update on Mich A/S 3 in snow. So we have had several inches of snow and ice over the past week. The Mich in my opinion are not bad, but could be better. IMO the Cont. DWS are better in snow. The Mich didn't perform as well in 2 inches of snow. Had problems getting up my driveway and turning...

    Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3

    I currently have these tires. I have had Conti DWS and Toyo Proxes on tires as well. So far I feel the Michelin's are superior. I have not had them in snow yet,so that should be a bit interesting. However, IMO the toyo's were good in wet and dry, but snow was iffy. They seem to were fast even...

    17 inch tire options aren't great...

    So I had a set of 17 Cont DWS on my car for over 40,000 miles. They were great new and seemed to wear very well. However, the more miles I had on them the more uncomfortable the tire became in wet conditions. So I switched to the new Mich pilot sport AS/3. I love these tires. I am on vacation...
