I just replaced my front tires with Michelin Latitude Tour. Their claim: "Our quietest, most comfortable ride". I'll replace the rear when the wear bars show, which will be soon, at 19,500. Bridgestones are terrible!

That is the tire I am looking at. Was thinking about Michelin LX Energy (reviews were not very good) What kind of $$$$ are we looking at. Another tire I will also look at is the Goodyear Fortera Tripletred . Both tires rated well (Tire Rack)

The road noise was not an issue with my oem tires which were Continentals, and I did not notice the noise getting any worse with the Triple-Treds. The CR-V itself is not as quiet as our Highlander with the same tires, so I attribute any noise to the car, not the tires.
 
The price on the Triple-Treds was $199 each plus balancing, etc for a total of $847.
I got them at a chain called Tire Factory, but Goodyears are everywhere and if you call around you may find promotions.

go to Honda CRV tires, wheels & Sencors 250 of 275. I bought my triple treds at Sam's Club. I really like them.

A/C unit punctured by jacksy3

Our A/C stopped working so we took it in to the dealer. They are saying that a rock flew through the grill and punctured the unit and therefore it is not covered under warranty. Has anyone else had this problem with their 07 CR-V?
They asked us 3 times before we even brought the car in if we had been in an accident or had any rocks hit our car and we told her no. I suppose there is a chance that a rock flew in between the grill w/o hitting anything and punctured the a/c.

Has the dealer shown you the puncture damage on the A/C condenser? If so, then a rock probably caused the damage. The bumper opening in front of the condenser is large and has little protection.
 
Personally I installed a Cloud-Rider bumper screen in the opening to protect the condenser.

Puncture damage would do it.
 
But check out the Honda CR-V AC Compressor Issues discussion as well.

Had that happen to the 2002 Civic Si. Was on the highway going behind someone through construction zone. He must have kicked up something, because A/C died fast, and soon the temperature gauge went up. A 10 inch construction screw went through both. Had to leave the car in the parking lot while gathering parts. Replaced parts myself for next to nothing (Rad was $200 from the online dealer, condenser was about the same).
 
Had the dealer evacuate and charge the A/C system.
 
If your radiator is punctured, make sure you refill it with Honda Type 2 coolant, it is BLUE.

Thanks for the info.
 
The radiator is not punctured. I haven't looked at it yet but I was told you can see the condenser right thru the radiator. There is some lawsuit against Honda in regards to design defect in regards to the A/C. I contacted the firm. I plan on changing the condenser myself since the dealer wants close to $1000.00.
