Honda Civic SI Coupe Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Forceum HEXA given 50% (235-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 spirited miles
I had to leave this review to combat the unrealistic expectations of the tires by other reviewers.
This tire is $350us for a set of four. It’s the cheapest, softest, high performance tire available for someone on a budget or someone that burns through tires.(track days/drift days)
I put these on a weekend warrior/dd car with pretty low expectations because of price. This quickly changed.
Car drove great after alignment(anytime new tires are put on alignment should be done).
After a hard 100miles of scrubbing time and heat cycles these tires settled in nicely.
Dry grip was very good for a 400 tire. I’d say this tire is more 250-300 in wear category. It’s no falken Azenis. But it’s definitely not all season. It’s a good entry level high performance only tire. Once the tire built heat tire would start marbling. This would only happen when driven very hard on hot 90°f+ days.
I did find the performance edge of the tire very quickly when cold(0 road heat). When hot it’s a little more forgiving. A beginner or someone that has 0 skill would have a hard time with this abrupt edge.
Wet grip was ok. It was very comparable to my Goodyear eagle sport all seasons. Definitely not a tire i would race on in the wet or drive with spirit on road when wet.
Winter. This tire is not an all season tire. It is not a winter tire. This is a soft compound tire. A soft compound needs heat to work. Cold and soft tires do not mix.
Noise level was good. Again it’s a high performance tire with a soft compound for $350. Most people running this kinda tire have cars loud enough to not hear a tire.
Tread wear. They say this tire is a 400aa tire. But I can tell after a few thousand miles it was obvious that it’s lower. I got just shy of 10,000miles out of them. Putting them in a 250-300 range in my opinion. This is comparing them the falken and federals we have ran in the past.
However, I do believe that I could have got closer to 15k to 20k out of the tire IF we ran 0-1° of camber instead of the current 2-2.5°.
Once the tire wore in from camber from daily driving this is where the tire got noisy. But again. Nature of the beast.. I will absolutely will continue to run the tire on all of my vehicles in the category.
This tire is a fantastic low budget high performance tire. But you have to understand what your buying and lower the expectations. This is not a $150-250 tire, it’s $75. It’s a tire you can buy a lot of and burn off at drift days. It’s a tire that will absolutely get you though a track day or 7 depending on temperature and skill.

Writing about the Federal SS595 SUPER STEEL given 26% (-40-18-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 18 spirited miles
put these on my 2015 civic si awhile back due to the cost and them being recommended by a friend. aside from cost and i cant think of a single positive thing to say about them. worse very fast, could not hook in 1-2nd gear even in lower boost and sometimes 3rd in higher boost, were noisy as all hell, and were terrifying to use in the wet. definitely will not purchase again.

Writing about the Nankang SV1 Winter Plus given 91% (225-45-17-T)
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
I am extremely surprised at the life and durability of these tires! I paid $420 after shipping to Utah, have driven on them all winter so far (6 months) and they have not worn at all! Now keep in mind I am NOT a slow driver, hardly ever under 90 on the freeway and I do alot of quick shifting and heavy takeoffs. I dont notice any wear! I thought i would be replacing these tires next winter but i didnt care cause of how cheap they were, but NO! Im positive I will be putting these back on for the next 3 winters! Oh also they have excellent snow grip, but not amazing wet grip... Still exceptional, but not amazing. I am very impressed! I will definetly buy these again if I ever have to!

Writing about the Toyo Proxes 4 given 43% (215-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
tires were ok at first but the cupping got so bad i had to buy new tires with still a little usable tread left. was gonna get new tires in 3 months anyhow but had to do it early, was going deaf from having the radio up so loud trying to drown out the truck tires these turned into. when i bought my new nexens i had an alignment done and it wasnt too far off so it wasnt that causing the cupping.proxes is a very good lookin tire but, ask yourself if looks are more important than performance. i dont recomend these, sorry toyo.

Driving on mostly country roads for 0 spirited miles
well about a month ago i said what the hell and put a set of infinity inf-040 tires all round, they are a budget tire but they seem to share roughly the same tread pattern as a Dunlop tire,when i first got out on the road with them i wasnt very impressed at all, but once the tires warmed up and the worn in tidy, i found the grip rather exceptional for the £37 a corner, they gave a decent feel on the road, i found the tires much better than the pirelli tires i usually buy. overall fantastic for a budget tire, very impressed and would recommend to anyone
