I have 03 Acura TL-S rims on my 04 Accord EX V6. I used my OEM Accord rims for my Blizzaks in winter. I've relocated to the Bay Area in CA so I no longer have use for winter tires. I originally had the Michelin Pilot HX MXM4s on my Accord (came with the Acura rims). They were good in the summer, but wore down quickly probably due to the way I drove. I went through 2 sets of the Michelins before I hit 70k miles. I'd usually have the traction control kick in while driving in the rain or snow so I didn't trust them very much. The Michelins were very well built because I hit a pothole at around 70 mph and the tire held (thanks G*d!). It had to be replaced because I had a huge bubble on my sidewall. I stuck with the Michelins until year when I got a set of Yokohama Avid W4S. The W's are overkill, but there was a sale + $50 coupon discount at Wheel Works so I decided to try them. It was like night and day. My Accord felt like it was sticking to the asphalt. You would think that would affect my gas mileage, but I don't think it was. If anything, my gas mileage might have improved! I think I have ~10k miles on the Yoko Avid W4S. I haven't experienced much rain driving and no winter driving (no snow here), but it my Accord feels much more surefooted than with the Michelins Pilots. |

Hi, I am sorry if this is a repeat Post. I have a 2007 Honda Accord EX-L, which i had got it new. it has 24000 miles on them. 2 weeks back i had gone for my routine oil check and i was told that i have a bulge(boil ir bump) on my rear Tyre and i need to change it, they told me that my quote would be 250$. I dont have much knowledge on cars. My tyre brand is Michelin Energy MXV4 P205/60R 16(91V) S8 (TubeLess) My question is How many years of Guarantee we have on tyres? Does it come under my warranty (I have 7 yrs 1000000 miles Bumper to Bumper) 2) Is the Estimate costly 3) How do I shop(negotiate) for Tyre. Please provide me with some feedback

Tires are under warranty, but from the tire company, and 24k miles is probably over the limit. $250 is way too much, don't get them from the dealer. Go to a good discount chain. You could also try different tires. Lots of good choices at tirerack.com |

I have about 54,000 miles on my 2005 LX 4dr Honda Accord. I need to purchase new tires, but not sure what type or brand to buy. We have TONS of rain here (Kentucky), and some snow and ice in winter. I need something safe for handling too as I have grandchildren with me a lot of weekends. Thanks.

| well, I just put Yokohama Avid H4s on my 2005 (4 cyl, EX). They have been great so far, and fantastic in the wet. | |

Replying to: sharad (Apr 19, 2009 11:59 am) I'm not sure what you mean by "is the estimate costly." But it looks to me like you'll have to replace the tires, and I'm pretty sure since you're at 25k miles, you should replace in pairs and just keep the other tire as back up so your tires are even. I think you should be getting the same ones as your other two. I don't think it's a good idea to have two different pairs of tires on the car because the thread patterns would be different, but perhaps it's not that big of a deal. I looked on tirerack.com and that tire is $171: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp?make=Michelin&model=Energy+MXV4+S8 If you buy from tirerack.com, you'll have to pay shipping so what I would do is try and get somewhere local to match the tirerack.com price first and see if you can get away with not shipping. Then, rather than mount at the dealer, get both tires balanced and mounted at walmart for around $10 a tire w/ lifetime rotation and balance. I'm not a fan of road hazard programs, etc so I would advise against getting them. |

Replying to: temj12 (May 19, 2009 10:29 pm) Sounds like a good idea to upgrade. Are the wheels larger? Wider? (I have a AV6M with 215/50R-17 93V OEM Michelins) Thanks and all the best, e........... |

My 2005 Accord Sedan needs new tires, and I'm hoping something can reduce the road noise. I'm on the highway a lot, and would love to hear the stereo for once. I would give up all season, longevity, etc. Any suggestions?
