1 edit | In need of 4 new tires
Hey guys, I have a 2006 Honda Accord EX - I'm reaching the point of needing new tires and would like to see what yall recommend for it? I live in the south-east dont need anything to do winter tires.
The stock tires that came on them were Michelin Energy MXV4 S8's.
Thanks! |

Bloom County | Did you like the stock tires? What kind of tire and attributes are you looking for? Wet traction, performance, ride, cost (low or high) or wear? |

Auburn, AL | Mileage is 46,000 - Looking for good performance, decent in rainy conditions, can be upper end of the price. |

Check out the Altimax HP from General. Continental did a great job of bringing this brand back. The Altimax has been getting great reviews.

I have 2 Honda Accords.
x wife I just bought Michellin Hydroedge. Very nice, quiet and very stable on wet roads, upped the size to 205's.
On my daughters Honda Accord I bought Yokohama's (she's at school) and I can't remember the model. These are very impressive - quiet and nice traction for about 2/3 of the Michelin. Some of this performance on this Accord is a function of me put 4 new struts in.
I think you did well on factory Michelins. I think they make a good tire at least for the Accords. |

| Michelin are my tires of choice on cars I will keep a long time. I usually get their 60-80K mile warrantied tires and never had any issues - no slipping belts, no odd wear (a lot of that due to alignment not going out), and never had a short tread life. |

I always look at Mitchel ins 1st. I'm a hard sell on anything I'm going to keep.
But these Yokohama's are good. |

I had Yokohama Avid's on my 2002 Altima before I sold it, LOVED them. Great grip, great wear, you could get alot of miles out of them. Before I have the Avid's I was a Michelin guy, but am now a Yokohama fan.

So much that we bought another set for our Grand Caravan. Hated them. I don't know if the difference in vehicle weight was the problem, but the long wear and low noise I had on my Tacoma were gone with the same tire on the van. The van is well maintained, and the current store brand tires have last much better, so I don't know why the Yoko's didn't last.
