Replying to: berri (Nov 17, 2009 1:22 pm) I think you're better off just putting a good quality car tire on.   I'm inclined to agree with you. The last time this topic was discussed here, which must have been 2 or 3 years ago, that was pretty much the consensus of the group.   The overall condition of the roads around here (NYC suburbs) is poor & getting worse, & the Bridgestones don't help a bit. Also, I'm getting (surprise!) older.

Much improved. I think Goodyear Comfortread is a similar type tire at a little lower price. I've never had a good experience with Bridgestone/Firestone personally. I wish the car companies would let you upgrade tires before delivery instead of having to drive off the dealer lot in crap rubber.   Yokohama tires provide the quality of Michelin at decent price.   Michelin tires are good quality tires, but they are extremely overpriced.

They were VERY poor sellers when new and evern harder to sell as used cars.   From 1997-2006, I sold a ton of new CRV's and probably three or four were sticks.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Nov 12, 2009 11:26 am) " Yup, the lost their market there"   They sure didn't have much to lose. Very poor sellers.   " Hopefully they will deliver on thier promise of the Diesel CR-V with 6 speed manual"   Ah, what promise would that be? I sure wouldn't hold my breath!

They were VERY poor sellers when new and evern harder to sell as used cars.   I agree that Honda will probably never again offer the CR-V with a stick in the North American market. But I've had no trouble selling my MT Hondas privately in the past.   I'm still quite a few years away from replacing my CR-V. But when that time comes, I'll put a fair price on it & sell it privately. It probably won't take much longer than a week to find a buyer.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Nov 17, 2009 9:57 am) I bought a set of Michelins from Costco and I don't think they will ever wear out. They run very smoothly and I think the vehicle drives much better since I got rid of the noisy Bridgestones. Consumer Reports like the special Michelins sold at big box stores that the kinds sold at other retail stores. I addition to Costco I think Sam's Club carries these Michelins.

Replying to: accord1942 (Nov 22, 2009 12:40 pm) I did the same thing with our CRV and even my wife could tell the difference.   I don't know why Honda continues to use the noisest tires they can find!

Replying to: accord1942 (Nov 22, 2009 12:40 pm) Give it 6 years or so, by then the rubber will be old and you may want to replace it even if there is some tread left.
