The nice thing about tire options is that there are plenty to choose from, which makes finding the right ones tricky. The best tires for your Acura TL Type S will depend on your budget, the required tire size, and driving conditions. The standard tire size of a 2008 Acura TL Type S is 235/45R17. Let’s breakdown what this means:
  • “235” means the tire is 235 millimeters wide.
  • “45” means the tire’s height is 45% of its width.
  • “R” represents the tire’s inner layers are lain radially.
  • “17” refers to its 17-inch diameter.
You’ll also want to take a tire’s speed rating and load index into account and ensure they’ll be compatible with your Acura TL Type S.
When it comes to tire types, here are some options to consider for your Acura TL Type S:
  • All-season car tires: Designed to provide reliable traction, handling, and more ride comfort year-round
  • Performance all-season car tires: Tend to have better grip and a higher speed rating than typical all-season tires
  • Ultra-high performance (UHP) car tires: Can help improve traction and overall handling. It’s important to note that the tread on UHP tires can wear faster than some all-season tires.
  • Winter/snow tires: Designed to have better traction on snow and ice.
