Anyone going to be putting different tires from the OEM ones on their Insight?
The Dunlop SPs are ok in dry weather, but like the revies on TireRack say I,'ve already experienced their extreme propensity to hydroplane in rain (and, I've only had my Insight for 4 days)...and I can only imagine how bad they will be in the snow/ice, which we get plenty of in January/February.
There aren't a lot of other tires in the same size to choose from - the Continental ContiProcontact sound like they aren't too bad - though I'd like more options. I'm not concerned about losing a small amount of fuel efficiency by moving to non-LRR tires.
I am pretty sure I'll be replacing the OEM tires at the end of summer with a better, safer, quieter all-season tire.
