Replying to: panzerleader (Dec 22, 2008 6:43 am) I think the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity replaced the LS-V & H tires. They look very similar, that's for sure. The Bridgestones are just as expensive as the Michelins though. The General Altimax HP are also highly rated by tirerack.com, and are much cheaper. |

Thanks guys. I do get great mileage and don't want that to change with a tire replacement. However, the MXV4 Energy tires are just scary on wet turns. I hate to take off tires with so much tread. Maybe someone in New Mexico can use them.

| After 75k miles on my 2006 Honda Accord SE, I was in need of replacement tires for the Michelin MXV4's. They did better than I thought they would in the Midwest winter weather with so little tread. After research, I decided on the General Altimax HP 92V tires, and after 500 miles or so, I am happy with my choice. It gives it a little bit of an aggressive look, and handles curves much better. All 4, out the door for under $400, 1/2 price of the Michelins. I can't really complain about the Michelins like so many others, they were great for me. | |

I have a '92 Accord EX and I need to get new tires for it. I'm not looking for "performance" tires and wonder if it it possible to substitute some other size than the recommended 195/60-15 tires with maybe something like a 185/70-15 for less RPMs and lower rolling resistance. The manual says to only use the one size due to the ABS calibration but I'm wondering if all the tires are the same size if it is that big a deal.

I have an '06 6MT Sedan with 40K on the factory Michelins. Like some others near the end of their tire lives, it doesn't take much breaking for me to slide on a wet road, so I think it's time for some new ones! I would like to get a slightly sportier tire and my choices seem to be: 1. Yokohama Avid V4S 2. Dunlop SP Sport Signature I'm in FL, so winter driving isn't an issue, but I still don't think I want a dedicated summer tire. I'm favoring the Yokohama from the reviews I've read, and they also weight 2lbs less than the Dunlops. Will this play a role in any way? Any other advice or recommendations would be appreciated!

Replying to: dairyshick (Mar 18, 2009 5:52 pm) Sure, the lighter tires will have less rolling resistance, so it could give you better mileage, maybe 2mpg. The Bridgestones I have now are heavier than the stock michelins, but they are more durable, imo. I think the Dunlop and Yokohama tires are both pretty good. I had the SP Sports on my old Accord when I sold it, and they were performing well at that point. I've read good things about the Yokos too.
