What tires are you all running? (not oem)

[FcknFrank]

Im in the market for some new tires and I want to get an idea from the driveaccord peeps. I still have the stock 17's and do you like the amount of road noise? Thanks everyone

im runnin BFG Gforce sport, good handling in wet or dry but they are loud loud loud. i wont buy them again for that reason

Bridgestone Potenza Serenity

Much quieter and longer lasting than OEM. The ride is smooth and luxurious. Replaced the worn out OEM (at 28k!!!) and never looked back since.

Another great option is the Michelin Primacy at Costco. Only downside to that is limited store presence. If my tire blew out in the middle of no where, I'm kinda screwed. Make sure you buy tires from a store that has national presence. For this reason alone, Goodyear Comfortred at Walmart is a damn good alternative.

Toyo Proxes for the Accord and Toyo Versado's for the wife's Mazda 6. The proxes I bought are mostly just a regular tire while the Versado is more luxury. The Mazda is very smooth going down the road and little road noise.

conti DWS on the stocks and kumho ecsta 4x on my 20s. i like 'em both, certainly better than stock.

I'm rolling on Yokohamas Avid Envigors. Much better than the stock bridgestones. :P

Michelin pilot sport a/s plus. Great tires. Handle great in the rain. Good traction. Quiet. Smooth.

You have the new Serenity's or the originals?

Primacy in stock size replaced OEM Mich HX MXM4 at 68,000. All i can say is these tires (at 120,000+) measure 7/32 on my tread depth stick, and they are quiet, great in the rain and are rather pricey.

Other than that, no complaints..........

^+1^+1^+1 Remember that the Michelin Primacy tire ez mentioned above is the Primacy MXV4 which replaced the OEM Pilot MXM4 on his vehicle, and both of which should not be confused with the newer Primacy MXM4, the replacement tire for the Pilot MXM4 in the Michelin line-up. Either one of the two Primacys would be good tires to get, but the MXV4's are better IMO. (and others agree! See above)

i just got BFG sport comp 2. The handling and grip is so much better than the stock michelins. Not sure how it is in the rain since it never rains in CA. But no noticeable road noise.

I've heard complaints of traction with the MXV4's, any comments? Particularly wet, but I've read dry traction isn't the best.

I got lucky and thats the tires that were on my beloved new Accord right off the showroom! Its the reason I picked it over the next one that had leather.

We just had a couple days of torrential downpours here and I had zero traction problems. Ride is very nice and comfy and the noise level is good. Ill probably stick another set on there when these wear out in 70,000 miles.

Dry, wet, snow and even on ice-no problems for me. Of course, you do have to be careful and be alert when entering turns and I drove VERY carefully on the ice, but my car has never felt like I was about to slip or loose control in any condition. Let's see what ezshift5 says when he see this post, as he runs on MXV4's also.
