I will have about 75,000 miles on my '02 Accord when I change tires pretty soon. The original OEM Michelin MXV4 Plus lasted for 45,000 miles. I currently have the Dunlop SP Sport A2 Plus so they will only last 30,000 miles. For the most part, I have liked the Dunlop tires. However, they are no longer made in my stock size of 205/65/15. I have 6 tires that I am considering as replacements.

1) Bridgestone Turanza LS-H $577.22

2) Continental ContiProContact $429.82

3) Michelin Primacy MXV4 $530.32

4) Bridgestone Turanza Serenity $577.22

5) Michelin Energy MXV4 S8 $624.90

6) Sumitomo HTR H4 $353.82

I would appreciate pros & cons of each tire to help me make my decision. Pricing is from TireRack with shipping, no road hazard, & then mount, balance, rubber valve stems, tire disposal, and tax by a local shop. This was the least expensive route with every tire I priced up with the closest being ~ $5 & the largest difference being ~ $35.

Have you looked into the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position?

No b/c it's directional.

we put contiprocontacts on alot of Audi's and they seem to do very well. and you can't go wrong with a decent Michelin. I'd avoid the cheap-o tires like Sumitomo, I'm one who believes that with tires, you get what you pay for.....

Maybe you've narrowed down already, but have you considered the Yokohama Avids? I have been EXTREMELY pleased with them on my 2003 EX.

I recommended the ContiProContacts for my sister on her Matrix which she followed. I believe they would be good as well & are not that expensive. However, the LS-H were such a praised tire a year or 2 ago.

They are made in France. The LS-H are made in Japan. Does anyone know where the Sumitomo tires are made?

Personally, I go with Brigdestone and Yokohama. I have Bridgestone for my 92 accord and worth for the price.

I went with the Bridgestone Turanza LS-H from Tire Rack. No problems. They are just now broken in.

I use that size on some older Audis and last time got the Kumho ASX. iirc, the Yokohama TRZ and ContiExtreme come in that size too.
