I SKIDDED BACKWARDS DOWN THE STREET IN SNOWY CONDITIONS BECAUSE 2019 HONDA CIVIC SI WAS SHIPPED WITH SUMMER TIRES INSTEAD OF ALL SEASON TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER'S WINDOW STICKER INDICATED THAT ALL SEASON TIRES WERE INSTALLED WHEN IN FACT, THEY WERE SUMMER TIRES WHICH WERE TOTALLY UNSUITED TO DRIVING IN NEW ENGLAND IN WINTER.
