New Tires for my 2000 EXV6 Coupe by raprider

About 3 years ago (at 20k miles) I replaced my OEM MXV4s with Toyo Proxes. I recently blew the front drivers side, and have temporarily re-installed one of the MXV4's I'd kept in storage.
  
I'm now considering replacing all 4 tires, even though the Toyos only have about 40k on them and look to be in decent shape tread-wise (although I noticed a cut in the sidewall of one the other day). I'm currently looking at the Falken Ziex or possibly the Dunlop SP Sport A2.
  
The spec is 205/60/16 91V. It's a tough size to find, but available. The Falken is rated as a 92H. The Dunlop is rated as a 91H. Is this a significant difference? I'm more concerned about the speed rating differential on both than the load rating of the Falken, considering that the spec for the Accord is a V rating.
  
A couple things to note...1) I have 60k miles on the car since my commute varies between 15 and 30 miles r/t per day and we usually use our Highlander on the weekends...2) I'm starting to get bored with this car and may replace it in the next year or two, so high treadlife is not especially important...3) I do push the car and tend to drive it hard (don't we all?!?), but I also maintain it pretty well...4)
I was not a big fan of the Michelin MXV4 series, at least not the OEM equipment, which I found very sloppy esp. in rainy conditions, compared to the Toyos I'd replaced them with, but I'm not prepared to drop $130+ per tire, given 1) and 2) above...5) I live in central NJ, so although snow/ice is an occasional consideration, I do not expect to purchase dedicated snow tires.
  
What are you riding on?
Any specific experience with either of the above tires, or recommendations for alternatives, is appreciated. Thanks for your help,

Honda website vs IE 7.0 by babbittd

I'm not sure which forum to post this in, if any, but was curious if anyone else is using IE 7.0 and if so they cannot access Honda's website with it as I can't?

Look near the top of your screen for a possible screenwide yellow strip discussing ActiveX controls or security issues. It probably says "click here" to display the page that you are seeking.

Accord Coupe or Solara? by passatowner
May 18, 2007 (1:08 pm)

I am interested in trading in my '02 Passat for either a Toyota Solara or Accord Coupe (w/beige cloth interior, woodgrain, moonroof). I've test-driven the 4 cyl Accord, which has a good amount of power. I haven't yet test driven the Solara (closest Toyota dealership doesn't have ANY). Does anyone have preferences between the two? With less horsepower than the 4cyl Accord, is the 4cyl Solara still pretty powerful? Also, with Solaras being discontinued, how would this affect negotiating ability, re-sale value and repair/maintenance costs (finding parts, etc)?
