Falkin Azenis rt615
and
Bridgestone RE-11

Goodyear Assurance on my Accord and Michelin Energy (OEM) on my Sienna.

The Michelins are just about done at 33K miles, so I'm starting to look for replacements that will last longer. Anybody have anything good/bad to say about Yokohama, specifically the Yoko Avid?

OEM Michelin is about done at almost 30K. Already got a replacement lined up, Bridgestone Turanza w/ Serenity

Michelin Pilot Sports A/S for the 19's. Kinda expensive but are the best rated tires for all season 19's. They handled well this past winter.

Yok v4s

Got the OE Dunlops (std' on the 8th gen' Accord LX sedan w/ 16" stock-steelies). Only at ~5k miles as of now, and to be quite honest - they look literally brand-new! As they should, because their grip is mediocre, turn-in/steering-response is squishy, road-noise is pronounced at-speed and/or textured surfaces. I assume tread-life & cold/wet grip are the hallmarks for such a tire. . .

If my Accord wasn't in essence a comfortable, spacious, and efficient grocery-getter/people-mover... I'd dismount these suckers immediately! :D

(looking to get some OEM-accessory HFP 19" rims w/ decent rubber, but as of now I have ZERO storage space for the OEM/stock setup... likely will just have to give them away?!? :eek:)

Other tires currently being used on other wheels/vehicles in the stable:

- Falken Azenis RT-615
- Bridgestone Potenza RE-050A Pole Position
- Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3
- BF Goodrich T/A Tour

All-time fav' tire: Yokohama A022H :blush:

Kumho KH16's.

On my 2nd set..got about 60K out of the first set.

I'm thinking of trying the Toyo Versado soon.

falken 452s. falkens are by far the best tires for the money

555 for now! I have had two sets on my past cars they are pretty good for the price...

Still have the OEM Michelins on.

Yokohama Advan's. Came with my rims!

Falken FK452's 245/35/20 275/30/20.

General Altimax HP on my 99.

My next tire will either be the same, of Goodyear Assurance TrippleTread.

Summer, General Exlaim UHP 225 45/17.

Winter Dunlop Winter Sport M3 215 50/17.

Next set of winters I might look for another, been happy with the Dunlops though.

Toyo Proxes 4's 225/35/20

hey guys i'm new to this forum so first post here goes!!:wave:

I just bought last week a set of 4 michelin harmony's. I absolutely love them, I had a set of the stock energy's and let me tell you , night and day difference, harmony hands down. kinda expensive though, 120 a tire.

Accord: Original Michelin MXV4's (16")
Hard. Noisy. Well made.

Maxima: Yokohama YK520's (17")
Quiet. Smooth ride. Great handling.

Pathfinder: Michelin LTX (17")
Quiet. Smooth. Long life.

Murano: Toyo Proxes A20 (Huge OEM 20 Inchers)
Quiet. Nice handling.

Can't imagine how much the Murano's tires would cost to replace. I'm sure it's outrageous.

But the car looks awesome with 'em!:thmsup:

How can you lump Toyos with Coopers and Uniroyals and needless to say Hankooks?!?! Toyo deserves its own column/row/cell. But alas my tire subsequent to Toyos are these current Yokohama YK 520s right now so it's all good but any tire is better then a Michelin and you can quote me on that. Yes, my tires so far in my 2006 Accord is as follows..

Yokohamas >= Toyos > Michelins

Yok v4s

Ehhhhh, its all subjective.............but, I disagree. I have always had great success with Michelins myself. They were always rode smooth, and lasted a long ass time............one set I had ran 75K. They still had OK tread, but were deteriorating just because of age. Michelin tires are some of the most well made tires period...........Michelin puts alot of technology into their tires, and also have a very HQ inspection before they are put on the shelf. A lot of other tire companies would sell tires that Michelin would reject. Just my humble opinion. :thmsup:

Oh yeah, about the Toyo tire deserving its own thread?! Sorry about that..........I just thought about those last few manufacturers as I was building the poll. You are correct.........they deserve their own line. :wave:

Better than a Michelin????? You got to be kidding right.....

The past 10 years+ I've been sticking with BFG's.

Accord has BFG Traction T/A's right now, and I cant speak highly enough of them.

But I like a taught ride and decent corning in my sedans. The OEM Michelins are very different, feeling as if they roll over in corners and definitly a smoother ride at any given PSI. Tread wear on the Traction T/A has far surpassed the Michelins, and continue on.

The OEM Michelins are OK........if you step up in the line, more in line with your BFG T/As you will see a HUGE difference. Right now you are comparing apples to oranges. Many on this board do that............they say they hate Michelins and love their new Z rated tires. Well, the Michelins that come on the Accord are mid level tires, not even comparable to the upgraded tires that they are replaced with. :dunno:

It depends on which tires they are comparing. As lebomb has indicated, comparing a mid or low tier Michelin tire to a top-tier tire from another manufacturer isn't really comparing apples-to-apples.

I wanna vote again!!!

I just put 4 new Toyo Versado LX's on my '04 (I4).

Sumitomo Z3 in 19s, excellent value for money

Dunlop Sport max on my 19" HFP wheels
just got them, can't comment yet..
previous were the stock 18" Michelin

Kumho Solus KH-16s on our 03 Accord EX-L (put on by dealer before we got the car at 22K miles). Wearing well, at 7/32 after 36K miles (10/32 new). Fine in dry and rain, ride is good even at 40 psi cold, but not at all good in snow.

Putting Bridgestone Turanza Serenity tires on after these.

Just fyi, Uniroyal are Michelins

Still stock tires......

Michelin Pilot sport a/s Plus size 235/45ZR17 sold stock Michelin tires at 5,000 miles, Pilot Sports are awesome tires BFG Super Sport A/S is a good alternative with a much better price
