    Well, whadayaknow, looky here.
    Seriously, since my dad's Frontera stopped on a -dime- _ten_pounds_and_a_half_ with these, i've discovered, they have brilliant performance in the mixed conditions. (also, being mounted on road-going body, made them indestructable, never had a single puncture from that moment i put them on.)

    You don't hear people say that very often, but actually, the serious Honda engines are perfect for the road in my opinion, quick throttle response and the right amount of power to have fun without going to jail. I mean look at the AE86.. it doesn't have any power but is fun on the road because it is light and doesn't want to kill you. I wonder how that car became such a classic but Hondas get so much hate.
    Sorry, a completely unrelated rant.. I know, I know.

      +Bas van der Meij (Ykai63) Hondas are FWD, and I think that only Type Rs have a LSD.
