im going to get 2 new tires on tomorow , i will only be replacing the 2 FRONT tires because the rear tires are still pretty new and have alot of tread left on them so the hydroplaning issue shouldnt be a problem.

For the others....Those cars were REAR wheel drive cars...most Hondas are FRONT wheel drive. You are comparing apples to oranges in the video. Watch a front wheel drive car in snow...same kind of concept.

Hmmm. Just stumbled on this reply. What makes you thinking those are RWD cars?

A) Ok, if you have to get two, like in your case, TunerShark, yes, put them on the rear.

B) I don't agree with not rotating your tires and then putting the new ones on the back and moving the back ones up. Why not just rotate every other oil change (6,000 miles) and let them all wear evenly then when they're all worn, get 4 new ones. That way you never have to worry about unequal amounts of traction or mis matched tires.

C) In the video they said understeer is better because you can feel it. Yeah... but you can certainly feel and control oversteer too if you know how to drive.

D) Back to the subject of the post... It looks like your tire got jacked up on a pot hole or something, definitely replace it.

Great video, Thanks for the info. Im actually about to go change two tires. Rear ones have no tread left, front ones have only been driven for about 3k .
