Hi folks. The factory tires that come on my 2002 RSX type S are well
and truly worn out. What would be a good choice for all-season tires
to put on this vehicle? Also, what would be a fair price? The
dealership only had one option -- some kind of Michelins -- and they
were going to charge $1100, which sounded pretty high.

You should be able to get tires (probably V or W rated) for around $600.00
installed and balanced. Check Tire Rack for recommendations.

I got two Z-rated Goodyear tires mounted on a 2004 Acura TL for about $160
each at Discount Tire. Drop down in rating, and you can definately do it for
less than $600 for an entire set.

I put the same Yokohama Avids on my 97 Acura CL 3.0. I've been very
happy with them, and used them on my daughter's Eclipse too. I
found them on sale, so check around for prices.
