Vehicle model
Acura Integra
The Integra is a sporty luxury compact, one of Acura's two launch models in 1986. The first generation, a three- and five-door hatchback with pop-up headlights and a DOHC four-cylinder engine, established the brand's reputation. The following generations (1990, 1994, 1997) popularized VTEC, notably with the GS-R versions and the iconic Type R, which became favorites among enthusiasts. After a long absence, the Integra was reborn in 2022 (fifth generation) as a five-door liftback in the premium compact segment, targeting a young audience passionate about driving. In 2024 came the Integra Type S, the most powerful in the model's history. On the tire and wheel side, the modern Integra uses medium-sized alloy wheels; a second mounted set of winter tires is strongly advised in Quebec to protect the original wheels and ensure winter grip.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Acura modernes utilisent surtout des jantes en alliage de 17 à 21 pouces selon le modèle et la finition, les VUS (MDX, RDX) et les versions A-Spec/Type S adoptant généralement les plus grands diamètres avec des pneus à profil plus bas. L'entraxe le plus courant est de 5 boulons, comme sur de nombreux véhicules Honda. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés : monter les pneus d'hiver sur un second jeu de jantes en acier ou en alliage, souvent d'un diamètre plus petit que les jantes d'origine, protège les belles jantes d'été et réduit le coût des changements saisonniers. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte inscrite sur le montant de portière ou le pneu d'origine.
