Hi mondana. You have found the right discussion for this question so it would be a good idea to continue to monitor the Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience discussion where you've been receiving some replies.
This discussion is specifically about 08 Accord tires, so it's not where you're going to find a lot of folks who can help you.
Good luck!

I Haven't Noticed any Noise From My Tires Yet

I just bought an 08 EX-L V6 last week. I haven't noticed any noise coming from the tires at all, and I'm pretty sensitive to noise. My tires are Michelin Pilot HX-MXM4. I'll listen for it tomorrow and see if I can hear anything.

Those Michelin MxM4s are the worst tire known to man especially with the price tag they have when (and if) you want to replace them. I got rid of them at around 6k miles and now at 38,xxx, I am still using the Toyo Proxes 4 which is a great tire that I recommend to unfortunate Honda Accord owners of 2006-2008(those before 2006 should already know the tires suck and have probably replaced them with something else by now anyway)

I've got over 25,000 miles on my tires on my 2006. They don't stand out in anyway as being great, but they aren't THAT bad. They are MUCH too expensive though, and I'll replace them with Bridgestone Potenza G009 tires that I have on my 1996. They are great-performing, if a little noisier, and do very well in the rain.
You want bad tires, buy the Goodyear Integrity series.

Those are the same tires I have on my TL (now with over 30K miles). They are high quality and expensive, and generally good on most surfaces. But there are certain road types they don't like. They are a little hard compounded too.
Given their cost, when the time is here to replace, I doubt going with them.

As a follow up to my previous post, I've been listening the last 2 days for tire noise, and it sounds normal to me. I'm not sure what loud noise I'm supposed to be hearing, but my ears are very good. I have always had better luck with Michelin than any other brand, and was happy to see that I received Michelins on the car. If I ever observe the tires showing symptoms being "the worst tires known to man" I'll let you know. In the meantime, I love my 08 Accord, and the tires that came with it!

They get better mpg than many tires that's why Honda puts them on. When you consider losing 1-1.5 mpg with a less expensive tire, they are not so expensive.

I'm getting the best mileage with an aftermarket tire then I ever did with those sorry Michigans err Michilins. 08 Accord suffers from the same cheapness as the 7th gen MMC did despite its MMC. heck, the 2008s didn't get better shoes despite it being a FMC!

Great. Which tire is it? My Goodyear Comfort treads lost 1-1.5 vs. the Oems,but they are so smooth and quiet.

Um, huh? What cheapness?
