Blizzaks I heard are the best winter tire for this car.

I just purchsed a set of goodyear ultra grip ice, and they look like they are going to be an awesome winter tire, from the experts they are supposed to be better on ice, and light snow than the blizzaks, as well as better highway driving and longer tread life.

Ain't no snow gonna stop me

A 89 honda is a good winter tire. I used the kdws last winter, had no problems because I dind't drive it in the snow.

blizzaks are the way to go... I've never had them on my TA (don't drive it in winter) but I've had them on all my previous and current daily drivers
