The right tire size is a much-debated topic for this chassis. Everybody has a preference, but I’m trying to find what works for my daily commute here in SoCal. These factory “rubber bands” just ain’t it for me. Ride comfort matters, but my bigger concern is potholes and avoiding the kind of tire damage that leaves me stranded.

One suggestion was swapping the CTR’s suspension control module for the Integra Type S unit. Owners have reported a more comfortable ride, and I understand the appeal. Those harsh thuds at lower speeds get old.
But that addresses my secondary concern. Smoothing out the ride doesn’t give the tire any more sidewall, and that’s the part I’m looking at.

Carry a spare? Yeah, no…not for my local commute. I already carry enough in my work truck, and buying a spare setup would eat into the budget for a replacement tire size. It makes sense for a long-distance trip. I’m focused on working around the driving I do every day.
My next step is comparing 275/30 and 265/35 options. How they fit and feel, how they drive, what they can withstand, and what each actually offers over the factory setup.
