    Currently OEM for warranty purposes, but I normally run 175/70/13 General Altimax RT43 tires on 13x5 Honda Civic VX alloy wheels.

    You mean you void the warranty if you switch to say 185/60R14?? BTW have nothing but good things to say about RT43 and they come in 185/60/14

    I'm having issues with the rear alignment and took the car into the dealer for warranty work, so if I change anything on it, they won't honor the warranty. Have to keep it bone stock for now.

    We have the H rated RT43 ( 175/65-15 ) for the base '13 FIT w/ 5 speed auto . So far they've been great tires for the price . Soak up bumps well and are quite quiet . Don't seem to be impacting the gas mileage that much , if any . They were less than $65 each with rebate and slighlty above the TIRERACK price . Here's recent tank with them . Trip included 2 people for 1/2 the miles , about 20% city and the rest was mostly interstate with average speed of 64 . Very windy as well . tires are at 35 p.s.i.. Got 40.27 m.p.g. calculated . Can't wait for the sedan to arrive . There's a $70 rebate from GENERAL at their site under promotions with purchase of 4 tires . Ends September 11th .
