Replying to: bill59 (Oct 27, 2006 6:59 am) i have a 2000 accord ex-v6 with 82k miles, since i purchased the car tires have not been replaced. It has 2 michelins and 2 generics. Treadwear is really low and the dealer recommended having them changed. he quoted $520 which seems too high! So i was looking at firestone/discounttire to get all 4 replaced. Firestone has a buy 3 get 1 promotion on bridgestone G009. How are these tires? What would be a good choice, most of the driving is highway, since im in Chicago, there will be a little snow driving also. Important criteria are good handling and low noise. Please advice thanks

Replying to: sidpaul (Dec 07, 2008 11:27 am) I have these tires on my 1996 Accord LX and think they're great. Better wet-traction than the michelin's on my 2006 Accord EX, and I plan to replace those tires with G009 tires. |

Have question for this board....I have a new 09 Honda Accord and just put new Snow tires, on new rims and TPMS on the car. The dealer told me that the TPMS has to be re-programed for the new sensors on the new snow tires ( a $65 charge). Does that mean everytime I switch from regular tires to Snow tires, the TPMS sensors will have to be re-learned (as the dealer described it). Doesn't this defeat the purpose of getting independent snow tires on it own rims ? I can't believe that Honda would design the TPMS sensors to have to be re-learned every time you put on different set of tires. Am I being told the truth but the dealer ? The way I see it, it'll would have cost me $60 to mount the snow tires on the original rims but will cost me $65 to re-learn the snow tires on its own rims. Just doesn't make sense.

Replying to: Ragtopcar (Dec 15, 2008 10:00 am) The dealer is probably correct with the re-learning. The TPMS are probably coded, so you don't get false readings from other cars with TPMS near you. If the the sensors get re-programmed similar to the keyless entry fobs, then it's easy to re-program. It's something you could do yourself. There is info online on how to re-program the key fobs, maybe there is info on how to re-program the TPMS. Mrbill |

Replying to: Ragtopcar (Dec 15, 2008 10:00 am) I also found out that some models of cars can handle up to 9 TPMS sensors. Does anyone know how many the 09 Accord can handle ? |

Is just me or do others have issue with poor wet weather traction with the MXV4 Energy tires? My '07 Accord EX hsa 35K miles on the OE tires and they are down right useless in wet weather. The front slides out on turns (understeer) giving me the chance to grab for the e-brake to bring the rear around  . Fun as long as your clear of cars and expecting it. Anyone have similar experiences and replaced them with someting that is performing better?

my 2005 has these. Now up to about 36K on them, and they have been worthless in the wet for quite a while. I have to creap around off ramps so I don't slide right into the rail. I can't even imagine how bad they will be this year on snow. And I do have lots of tread left (7/32 maybe?), certainly enough to make 60K at this point, just based on tread depth and overall condition. Nice if I decide to trade it in, not so nice if I have to drive on them! I have a lonf commute this winter (90 miles/day) on some lousy roads, and have been contemplating getting new tires early, which is sad to have to do. And no way will they be another set of (overpriced) michelins. |

First the stock Michlens suck. Second, the best tires I found were the Bridgestone LSV but alas they are no longer made (Go Figure) For those having problems check out Tire Rack or other tire site that has reviews. I am now running Bridgestone 960AS Pole Position W rated tires on my 07 Accord 6 Cylinder 6 Speed manual trans Sedan. Michelin has a new Sport tire out, hopefully they are better than others. I am in the process of upgrading my suspension (Honda factory Performance) and yes it does fit the sedan. Also Acura TLS Sway bars, and yes they fit the Accord. The Accord was set up as an "American" syle car, hence the ride characteristics. The stock Michelins are low rolling resistence tires to max the MPG. All I can say was that my milage did not suffer at all.
