Interestingly, the CCC was rated best tyre in an Evo car mag test recently and the tyre size was around 235.
Has anyone here tried them on an NSX and the 16/17 combo?

Hi Guys,
Having read all 21 pages of this thread I am still undecided about which tyre sizes to go for
Have a set of OEM 16/17 alloys to go on so can someone please let me know what would be best tyre brand and sizes for daily driving (No track days etc) at reasonable prices
Thinking of sticking with OEM sizes but have a good set of 225/45/16 (continentals) as a spare set so may put them on the fronts..
Cheers

Hi Rash,
So no track days, how else do you use your NSX as this invite advice/ thoughts from other owners ...
I not a fan of Conti's myself, but have used Hankook, Goodyear, yoko's and beebread pleased with them all in different circumstances ...
Whichever way you go I would strongly recommend AGAINST mixing front to rear combinations
Regards, Paul

Hi Rash
On Kaz's recommendation I went for Yokohama Advan Neova AD-08. 215/45/16 on front and 245/40/17 Rear. Prices £130 front and £180 rear. Kaz has them on his car, though I think runs lower pressures than in the handbook.
For normal road use I am quite happy with the Yokos and found the handling much improved over the 7 year old Goodyears that were on the car previously, but that may have partially been down to getting the geometry set up correctly.

We all know that tyre choice is very limited for stock 16/17 wheels.
Some owners few years ago changed fronts to 225 40 16 from stock 215 45 16, but even
this slightly lower profile choice is dwindling too?
Has any one tried 215 40 16's on the fronts? I have searched this very long thread & but
found no references to 215 40 16?
Cheers

Quite a few members running the AD08 on 16/17 as well as 17/17
Other option could include Kumho or Hankook as both have similar stiff sidewalls to OEM tyre
