Tech must be clueless and will say anything to get you to spend more money.
You need an alignment.
If alignment was culprit, then
You need two new front tires.
Impossible to have tire that is
1) safe in snow
2) high performance
3) high tread wear.
For tire that is safe in snow
Michelin Cross Climate 2 is highly regarded as an all weather tire. You sacrifice performance and tread wear
For tire that is high performance

Bridgestone Sport 255 35 20 on 20x8.5 et36. Diam 27.0"
See my build thread.
No issues with the dampers.
However, the 20" extra tall...
Added a few autocross mods.
First we autox'd with
Old RE71R 265/40/18 200TW tires on Mazdaspeed forged rays wheels 18x8 et50.
Eventually we upgraded our autox setup to:
Whiteline 22mm rear sway bar part BHR97Z
Honda Accord rear aluminum endlinks part 52320-TLB-A00 to replace our plastic ones...

why did you choose v730?
recently ran v730 and re71rs back to back at a TnT and there was easily 0.5 sec difference on a 45 sec course.
Why r u running 50 psi in the rear? To encourage rotation?

I ended up trying taller tires for fun and to reduce curbing by my kid.
Running 20x8.5 wheels with very tall 255/35/20 tires.
Stock ride height would be 235/30/20 fyi.

Ive since sold my car.

If DD street miles are necessary, i would NOT recommend a 200 TW tire. These are intended for mostly autox or hpde.
200TW tires are terrible in the rain or even mild cold weather (32F to 45F). I have the V730 and RE71RS and can confirm they are unsafe in those DD street conditions.
Instead...
It is officially cold winter now.
Anyone have a remote start installed for a manual transmission Aspec integra yet?
OEM dealer install?
If not OEM,
I found a reputable shop that will install a Compustar for our Integra Aspec MT.
Any recs on which one? Pro T13, T12, Pro R5?
Thanks!
I have a 1/18 diecast car for almost every car Ive owned for sentimental reasons.

U guys in this thread have nice taste and fortune. Congrats! Miss my s2k alot.
I also think if this was asked in the regular Aspec forum where our car is often a DD, the answers would be very different!
