Edmund's Feature Article: Tire Safety: Don't Ignore the Rubber on the Road
For dedicated winter tires, also have a look at the Snow/ice winter tires discussion topic.

I have only 3400 miles on the Dunlop run flats (pre-winter) but I don't particularly like the ride, so I am switching the tires. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 27, 2005 6:43 am) The 225/60 R16 is the closest to my '04 tire at: 26.6" dia., 8.9" Sect., 7.3" Tread and 783 revs per mile. I remember once going "one size up" on my 2000 Acura TL and it threw off the speedometer/odometer by a couple of miles. I'm sure putting the 225/60 R16's on my '04 CR-V using the 2005 CR-V 16" x 6.5" Honda alloys will work out fine. NOW..... to make my mind up on what TIRE to purchase ?? I'm deciding between: BF Goodrich Traction T/A H Yokohama Avid V4S Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (with reluctance) For about 6 months before I sold my 2000 Acura TL I actually had Pilot Sport A/S's on it, but this was after driving a couple of years with Bridgestone SO-3 Pole's and I found these Michelins were terrible, especially in the rain !! I hated every mile .... I've heard good & bad about the BFG's (T/A H). I wonder how they will be on my CR-V especially since I am a VERY "aggressive" driver.

Replying to: wen (Mar 28, 2005 7:52 am) I'm guessing the Yokos may be more suited to your style of driving, though... Stick with the 225/60-16.. regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 28, 2005 7:55 am) The biggest shock of my life was when I took those "crappy" Michelin MXV4's OFF the Acura TL and put on Bridgestone SO-3 Pole's (one size larger). Not to brag, but I pushed the TL (really a glorified V6 Accord - family sedan) to limits I never knew existed. It very seldom hydroplaned even in 4" of water. They stuck to the road like "glue". Save my a** MANY times !! I am hoping for a repeat performance, that is, once I get these crappy Bridgestone Dueler H/T's off the CR-V and put a "performance-type" tire on, I (and my Wife) will once again NOT be afraid to drive in the rain. As a matter of fact she "hates" the CR-V in the rain and always grabs our '03 MDX whenever she can. Since "I" am most often stuck with the CR-V, I want to make it "safe and fun" to drive !!

I bought my wife a 2002 CRV and after we had it 5 months I drove to Augusta to see the Masters and it rained all the way. I felt unsafe at anything more than 64 MPH. Changed to some Costco MichelinX-Radial DT with 80K tread warranty for $310+tax out the door and couldn't be happier. I have an '03 5 speed Accord Coupe with 17 inch wheels that I have Avid V4's on and have been extremely happy with them after 9k. |

Time to replace the OEM Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus tires. I am considering the same Michelin tires, partially due to having a full sized spare and I could use the spare and only have to buy 3 new tires. The other choices based on the reviews on Tire Rack are Bridgestone Turanza LS-H, Goodyear Comfor Tread or Triple Tread. Could you give me the pro's and cons of these choices. I switch to winter tires and value a quiet, smooth ride with good gas mileage over performance type driving.
