Did a bit of quick research. Bridgestone Potenza RE040's do not seem to get good reviews on anything other than in the dry. They seem to be poor in the wet and wear out relatively quickly. Is this just to be expected for an OEM tyre. I expect it is all relative though. Compared to your normal cheap family car tyres, they are probably very good.

These tyres seem to get fitted to a number of lux-sport makes - lexus, bmw, etc.

I called Honda parts at two different dealerships and they both quoted, $605 per rim.

Wonder how much it would cost, and if it is possible at all to upgrade the steering wheel buttons. yes yes i know its easy to remember the location of the buttons, but it looks very nice.
