Car 1: 2004 Acura TSX
Question Cupped tires, any replacement recommendations?

So my recently bought a used 04 TSX with cupped tires. I can only ride on them for just a little while longer but I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for what tires I should get.
I live in Georgia, so most of the time its fair/warm weather but during the winter it ices up with a small chance of snow, and I log most of my miles on the highway.

Hankook and Sumitomo have some nice tires at good prices. You may want to check them out. Bridgestone always has nice quiet tires with good tractability. Downside is shorter lifespan compaired to their competition and its a pricier tire.

Before you replace any tire check that suspension out real good. You did not mention how many miles were on that TSX. Are you sure that it is cupping and not wear showing up more inside or outside?

Tire cupping can be caused by #1 bad struts, #2 springs, #3 allignment, #4 bad wheel bearings, #4 improper inflation, #5 rotation.

Check items 1 & 2 & 3 first. Sometime a mis-alligned tire will give the impression of cupping.

Do not go to Sears or Wal-Mart....go to a good front end shop.

Good Luck
