I was curious as to what type of tire the HR-V would get here in the USA. It appears from the website that they will be Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires. I looked them up on TireRack.com, and they get good reviews.
However, they are more a road tire than a light truck tire. I'm wondering if HR-V owners will put on "beefier" tread tires, and if so what kind? Will anyone jack up their HR-V's to put on huge knobby tires?
Having something for light off-road duty would be nice, I wonder how well the MXV4 tires do in dirt??? I have Michelin Primacy tires on my Solara right now and they are fantastic, so I'm happy the car is getting a quality tire out of the showroom.
