Tyre Recommendations for Euro OEM 17's

[TALEB TYRES]

I think Aaronng summed it up nicely in regards to the OEM debacle

We're not telling you to get OEM tyres. I'm telling whoever started the thread to get other brands. The reason why the dealer wants you to get OEM is because they pay almost nothing for it from the manufacturer due to volume pricing, but charge you twice the price of what a regular tyre would cost.

What is your budget?

Totally agree with aaronng. I had my 2010 Euro base model delivered a month ago and I noticed in my brochure that only base model gets a full-size spare wheel and only a temporary for luxury model. It is easy to understand that Honda have attempted to cut the cost of luxury model since they are fitted with 4 x Michelin Primacy HP (must be expensive). However, mine has got Yoko Decibel E70 - Attention! They are not V550 DB and not available from Bob-jane t-mart). So I guess those Yokos must be cheap and that's why they can afford to give you a full-size spare.
