I would lean towards the Bridgestone or Yokohama myself. I think the G009 is about the best all around tire they make in the grandma size (205/60R16 vs the much more popular/common 205/55R16) for the Accord EX 4 cylinder.
 
Mastercraft sounds like more of a house brand tire. Michelin, Bridgestone, and Goodyear are kind of the tier 1 manufacturers. Hankook, Khumo, BFG, and maybe Cooper are tier 2, and then there are tier 3 and house brands. Futura is Pep Boys house brand for example (although its made by someone else for them).
 
You might want to check out tirerack.com and see the ratings they provide on various tires. The can drop ship them to your house or the installer as well.

Mastercraft tires are cheap, and they perform that way. I would only buy Mastercraft tires for a car, if I was going to sell it soon, or if the car was worth less than the tires. They were on my used truck when I bought it. They don't ride smooth, are not quiet, and not very good on wet surfaces either. People who think "A tire is a tire" buy Mastercraft.

Check out Discount Tire. I've have good luck with them and they carry several different brands for your car.

Power Windows Click 05' accord 4-door by chasb19

Nothing really happened. The power windows just won't work. The Driver's window works fine. The other three just click and do nothing, they will not work from the driver door or the actual door. If i put the window lock on, I hear no click. With the lock off, i hear the click but no movement. no motor sound or anything, just a click. they were working fine an hour before, when I got back in the car, this started. No noises or anything....is there a code or something that I might have triggered on accident? I can't see all 3 going out simultaneously.
When I use the remote to roll the windows down, only the driver window goes down.

haha... you put 5W-30 in it yet?
Again, Manufacturers are using 5W-20 or 0W-20 because they want slightly better fuel economy.
Look at pennzoil website for Civic in Japan, they recommend 5W-30... but they recommend 5W-20 for the US.

Instrument cluster lighting problems by 2006accord
May 28, 2009 (9:49 am)

I have a 2006 Accord SE. when I put my lights on at night the light on my cluster knobs (i.e. radio and climate control ) goes very dim and the little map light doesn't work. I bought this to my local Honda dealer and they are not sure of the problem. they changed the cluster, but this didn't work. Now they want me to pay to check various electrical things. I was just wondering if any of you have this problem and if you have any suggestion to fix this? thanks.

the most obvious thing to cehck is if you have the brightness switch turned down, although I have no idea what that would have to do with the map light!

If it is under warranty then they have to pay.
