Just curious if anyone noticed that the Honda factory manual recommends the Bridgestone L rated HOOP tires. The L rating is a 75 mph tire but I know by GPS that mine can do 79 mph at 8,000 rpm.

So if that added 4 MPH scares you that much...take a bus.

I am just surprised that Honda would recommend such a marginally spec'ed tire. All the competitive replacements I found were rated P for  mph. I went with the Michelin City Grip which is P rated but mostly because the City Grip is rated to be pretty good in rain. |

The Honda Helix also came with 62mph tires.
