So I just replaced our mismatched tires the dealer sold to us with a set of Goodyear F1 215/45 r17's

Two tpms sensors were shot after 30k miles along with the three Mich Pilots and one sunotuor 225 tire which should never have been on the car.

The tpms sensors are another story entirely. One was leaking last winter. I paid to have it replaced at a Sullivan tire, and it seems they just repaired the gasket and never switched it out. The unit died along with one other after another 6 months..

Now, the F1 Goodyear's. I picked them for a good balance based on the CD reviews in wet. I can say after a few hundred spirited miles and some warm up twisties that they seem awesome so far. Wheel spin was impossible while being nice.

Will push them in the next rain and report back with mileage and thoughts. They seem soft, but have good longevity reviews.

I hope they will cover us for light driving through a Maine winter, but will not be disappointed if we switch to snows. The dry and dirty road traction so far seems amazing.

I'm assuming you bought your car used, hence the wrong 3rd tyre?????

Used at 20k miles from a Honda dealership with extended warranty.

The dealership saw the car for an inspection at 28k and said it was fine. The tires have been bugging me since I got it.

At 30k, a different Honda dealer in a different state did an inspection and said the car needed $2500 worth of work plus tires. ;)

I told them to pound sand and now have a full set of EBC rotors and pads plus new shocks. May be upgrading to HFP suspension before winter.
