There's not really a "best" but rather a lot of good brands; just like car manufacturers. Even some of the names you haven't heard much of, such as Cooper Tires, make excellent long-life tires. If you're looking for the most mileage, simply check the mileage rating on the tire.
I personally prefer Bridgestone tires, simply based on my good experience with them. I've never had trouble out of Michelins either; I have 47,700 on my 2006 Accord Michelin tires and have a good 15,000 miles or more left on them from the looks of things. The big question is how long will I wait to replace them... I will have had the car for 4 years in November; wet traction isn't quite what it used to be either.

92 honda accord ex no power from battery to ignition

Hello forum, here's my problem. I left park lights on on my 92 honda accord for about 4 hours. I jump started it and notice that the battery light would come on when I idle it up over 3500 rpms. I let the car run for 20 minutes 2 charge the battery and cut it off and restarted it 3 times. 4 hours later same problem, battery dead. I jump started it again drove it home without a problem. Lights brite played the cd player with no problems for 30 mile drive home. Parked it and restarted it twice without a problem. Next morning battery dead again, no power inside the car at all. Took battery out had it checked with tested good but I put a charge on it have it fully charge when I put it back in the car. When I put the positive cable on I got a spark showing that the battery was giving power but then everything died. I've checked all the fuses in the fuse box under the hood and dash, no blow fuses. With no power to the inside of the car I can't really test any relays....Does anyone have any suggestions????

I'd say you blew a fusible link that is somewhere along the inner fender (with the hood open) and that you may have a bad alternator. I don't know how this battery was "checked" but if it wasn't load tested you really don't know anything about its actual condition. Measuring specific gravity isn't enough.

I tested the battery with a craftman battery tester and it read good but didn't have a great charge on it so that's why I put a 30 minute charge on it and the battery is hot enough to supply some power to the car but there's no power going into the car. I'm gonna look in the inner fender to see if I can find a blown link. I also noticed that the previous owner has some type of kill switch going into the fuse box under the dash but like I said before with no power going into the fuse box I can't even check 2 see if any fire is going to the switch. I appreciate all the advice I'm getting here and will use this forum to share info. Also thank you Mr. Shiftright for the info I will definitely check that out and would appreciate any more info you can give me, again thank you sir.

Another thing, from your comments. You haven't charged this battery properly. Charging with the alternator doesn't give a deep charge, not does a 30 minute quickie charge. What this battery needs is a 24 hour trickle charge.
Also from your comments--the fact that the battery post sparked on installation suggests that you might have a constant battery drain in the car.

And that's exactly what I was thinking(drain on battery). I will trickle charge on the battery and see if I can get fire into the fuse box, from there I can try 2 chase down whatever is draining my battery. I will post whatever I may find out here and again thanks.

Hey Astor,
Can a heat sensor be the problem for over heating? I just Spent $8 on antifreeze to see if it'll cool my engine down. Will the antifreeze help? I hope I didnt throw my $$ away on antifreeze. Thanks for your help.

You might want to check your thermostat.
