I live in LA and planning go to Big Bear Lake one or two times a years, So I think tire chainsis better for my needs.

Replying to: kenneth813 (Dec 22, 2008 9:12 pm) That makes a difference!   There are a lot of factors to consider in selecting chains. Your owner's manual (if you have) may provide some guidance but I think Snow/Ice winter tires would be a good place to ask. We had a discussion specific to the CR-V in Honda CR-V Winter Driving but that hasn't been very active (yet?).   I found a good overview of tire chains here and you can use Snow/Ice winter tires topic for specifics.   I hope that helps.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: kenneth813 (Dec 22, 2008 9:12 pm) For tire chain, be careful re scratching the alloy wheels. You can search for tire chain in amazon.com or contact the company below to find the correct one for your vehicle model. The pic mentions "Honda Approved" on PAX tires

Replying to: kipnita (Dec 21, 2008 3:18 pm) Am in the same boat -- my 2 year old '07 just turned 18K and now researching new tires. My Honda service (experienced) advisor strongly recommended Yokohama YK520's -- reasonably priced with specs better than OEMs. You might also consider the Bridgestone Alienza (sp ??) -- it gets some good reviews. A much higher priced alternative is the Michelin Lattitude Tour. By rotating my tires every 4K to 5K miles I hope to get another 8K to 10K max out of the Bridgestones. Been buying Hondas for 30 years and have always, prior to the CR-V, gotten excellent wear from the OEM tires.

Replying to: kipnita (Dec 21, 2008 3:18 pm) I'm working on the "tire issue" and will report after the first of the year.   Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
#258 of 300 Tire Wear by trichard Dec 25, 2008 (12:35 pm)
I had to replace my 2007 EX AWD tires with only 24,000 miles. The car came from the factory with Continentals. When I asked the service writer about the poor wear, she stated Honda puts on a soft rubber tire at the factory so that you get a smoother ride. I now have Goodyear Integrity tires which seem to be working well and are quieter. Overall, the car is running well except for the rear differential problem.

Replying to: trichard (Dec 25, 2008 12:35 pm) I think that only the name is same between OEM Continental and the aftermarket same model Continental. The OEM's (Honda may pay less than half street price, Continental may make them in different formula, main reason is cut-cost) are definately worse than those you bought in tire dealers.

Replying to: trichard (Dec 25, 2008 12:35 pm) Check out the Kumho KR21's. Rated at 85K. Quiet and great ice/snow traction. Replies to this message: fairsailing (Dec 30, 2008 4:47 pm)
