V6 Accord Tire Recommendation
Hello,
I have 50K miles on my 2002 Honda Accord Sedan EX V6 and the tread on my tires are worn just in time for the Northern Virgnia winter. Does anyone have a recommendation on replacement tires? The stock tires currently on my car are Michelin P205/65R15 MXV4 PLUS 92V M+S ENERGY Radial XSE My preferences a Type: All season Size: P205/65R15 same as the stock tires Important factors: traction (wet and snow) and tread wear lifetime Price: any, but for tires only (I want to keep the same rims) Locale: Northern Virginia First time I have to buy tires for my first car. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks. |

Those are good tires. I have a '99 EX-L V6. I just got Goodyear
TripleTreds a few weeks ago at Discount Tire. I went with the stock size, but figured to try something a lot different. Goodyear Assurance TripleTred <http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....eModel=Assuran ce+TripleTred> There are a couple of notes: (1) they add some road noise, but I expected this as they are 80,000 treadlife tires (harder rubber) (2) they give MUCH increased performance, tighter feel (like the car is ready for a lateral movement at your will) (3) they cut through puddles as they were not there (4) can hear a difference when turning at slow speeds, sounds like they are digging into the road (grip) (5) They are about $100 each but I look to that as they will last longer (I hope) I can't comment on winter performance, but other people have rated them well. -keith tallahassee, fl "BBTACO" > wrote in message ... > > "Joe Peteh" > wrote in message > om... > > Hello, > > > > I have 50K miles on my 2002 Honda Accord Sedan EX V6 and the tread on > > my tires are worn just in time for the Northern Virgnia winter.

I had 45k miles on my Accord. I now have 60k. They transformed the driving experience, dramatically improving steering response, handling and ride quality. They are a bit noisy, and they have cost me a couple of mpgs in my gas mileage, but the tradeoff is worth it to me. Now I 'need' to replace the struts with a good after market set to get rid of the floppy left/right initial body roll . . . George |

Thanks for the recommendation. Think I'll try out the Bridgestones.
Cost less than the Michelins and rated higher at tirerack.

If you like the stock tires, why not buy the same or equivalent Michelins?
That's what I intend to do, although mine at 61,000 miles are not yet worn enough to replace. In my area, these tires are available from Costco at a reasonable price. - Don "Joe Peteh" > wrote in message om... > Hello, > > I have 50K miles on my 2002 Honda Accord Sedan EX V6 and the tread on > my tires are worn just in time for the Northern Virgnia winter.

Hi!
Do you mean you did 50,000 miles on only one set of tires? It's impressive indeed. I cannot do more than 30,000 miles on my cars. -- Best regards.

That was a typo; I meant to say 51,000 not 61,000 miles.
