Has anyone found a better tire that they are happy with for the 10th Gen. Will be replacing the OEM Hankooks when they ware out.

Plenty of better choices out there, depending on what you want to optimize (generally-speaking, performance vs. durability, but also factoring other variables like road noise, and of course cost....)

I always look at their ratings, as well as the test reports, at The Tire Rack's website. They have pretty good pricing, as well, and if you have a Costco nearby, they will ship right to your local Costco for mounting/balancing, etc.

Keep in mind that the ratings are (in general) only comparable within a "category" of tire, so it is a bit more complicated if you are comparing a high-performance tire with another tire that is in the "grand touring" category (as an example)....

But if you look up your OEM tires, you can at least compare them with other brands and models in that same category.

My Hybrid came with Michelin Energy Saver tires, which are optimized for low rolling resistance. They seem fairly decent in general, and are certainly not a cheap tire. But when it comes time to replace them, there will definitely be other tires that will offer better performance, and probably longer tread life as well, at the expense of (maybe) 1 or 2 mpg (if that much...).

The stock tires are terrible. (I have the same tires on my Camry, just a different size) Tire rack review on those Hankook Kinergy GT reflects this. They are no good in the wet nor dry. They will definitely be replaced by next summer.

I'm picking between Michelin PILOT SPORT A/S 3+, Goodyear Eagle Sport All Season, and Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready.
These are just tires that I've had personal experience with and performed well in all situations. I'm not too keen on experimenting tires with the Camry just because I'm not the one driving it 95% of times.

As mentioned, define "better". There are compromises and trade-offs when you improve in one area.

If you want something you can use year-round and still not feel like sliding everywhere in snow, get some all-weather tires. They won't do as well as summer tires in summer, though.

Summer performance tires will usually give you the best grip in summer. They tend to wear out faster, though. Also, use them in snow and be prepared to end up in a ditch.

Didn't you recommend Firehawk Indy 500? Or you are just recommending all-season tires?

Sent via MHA-L29. Whatever.

 

[tacthecat]

Only thing to add is compare same tire sizes - width & wheel diameter, also speed rating H - Z for your vehicle. And check consumer reviews for your vehicle - it matters.

Just all-season in this case, since the OP is asking for a replacement to the all-season OEM tires.

 

[Marauder]

Lets makes this easy. What is the recommendation for a tire that is all season and quiet?

 

[PeterSalt]

I just got my 19 Accord sport, the tire noise on the road is a lot more than my old 9th gen EXL, have anyone else thinks the stock tires are too noisy?

 

[aj_garcia26]

My OEM tires are Goodyear Eagle Touring 235/40r19 on my Sport. I've liked them a lot, quite grippy, gotten 50k miles out of them (and I'm not easy on them). Only thing is they are a little noisy, but that may come from the low profile or lack of sound insulation. They also have been the cheapest "American" tires I have found on TireRack recently

Same for me. Pretty happy, they do seem a tad noisy, but they are lo pro. I intend on swapping to these when they wear out, just because I like Michelins.

Primacy is very well rated. Stock tires on the 18 Touring are loud as hell. Its just such a let down. So if anyone cares to recommend a quiet tire, I'll try and hear ya over the road noise.

Check the tire pressure. My recently purchased Accord had tire pressures in the 39-40 psi range when delivered from the dealer. Apparently this is not uncommon.

235 uhp

Ultra High Performance All-Season
I'd go up a size to 235.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 set of 4 = $620
Size: 235/50ZR17
Serv. Desc: 96W
UTQG: 560 AA A
I've had several sets of these tires. You're not going to get 50,000 miles out of these, but they are cheaper than most Grand Touring tires.
No harshness or fuel mileage penalty compared to stock. With Bridgestone tires, expect 5% less gas mileage.
Better in snow than the Generals according to Tire Rack. Should be a rebate in a few months.

General G-Max AS-05 set of 4 after rebate = $400
Size: 235/50ZR17
Serv. Desc: 96W
UTQG: 500 AA A
Right now there's a $70 rebate on a set of 4.
I'd be tempted to get these and put the $220 you save toward snow tires next Winter.

Actually Tire Rack will also mount and balance your new tires/wheels for free and send to you for just bolting on at home. This works especially well if you plan to run seasonal tires or you change wheel size for whatever reason.

I put a set of Yokohamas on my 2014 Altima and they wore horribly. The noise got so bad I bought a set of Pirellis after 24,000 miles.

Those Pirellies were great in the rain or dry. Quiet. Grippy. A little squeal before they break loose. I'll be putting them on my Accord soon. Simple Tire.

 

[puddingstomp]

I went with 245-40-19 Toyo Proxes Sport. Completely changed the whole driving experience for me. I can get traction with Ktuner Stage 2 tune (10AT 2.0T) with VSA off, not even remotely possible with the garbage stock Goodyears.

I can't recommend them enough, but only if you're running a summer/winter wheel and tire setup as they're a full sport Summer tire.

My Sport 2.0 came with the Michelin Primacy’s OEM. The Primacy is intended for general A/S use, its primary feature is long life, not performance. I changed to ‘18 wheels with Pirelli P Zero Plus A/S tires. I chose these primarily because of a Tire Rack comparison test that compared Michelin Pilot A/S, Conti DWS, and the Pirelli’s. Improved most of the dynamic qualities; lateral grip and gas mileage. I have not driven in enough slippery conditions for a comparison. Noise is about the same, but I have given up trying to cure that problem on any Accord. I have driven various Accords hundreds of thousands of business miles. Tried many different tires. ALL were noisy after about half the tread life. I have no report regarding wear on my Pirelli’s. Seems fine after 16,000 miles in my retirement.
Still have the OEM wheels/tires in my garage.

Recently replaced the Goodyear Eagle Touring All Season 235/40 R19 tires on my '19 Sport with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 245/40 R19 tires. Been running the Michelin's a little higher at 35psi vs the 33psi spec'd for the OEM Goodyears and it has been nothing but a positive experience. The Michelin's provide a much smoother ride, are noticeably quieter, wet weather traction is great. Responsiveness from these tires is phenomenal over the Goodyear Eagle tires. Fuel economy has stayed the same (28.5mpg/93 octane/Hondata Stage 2). Will continue to use these tires until a better all-season tire becomes available.

Did you get the V rated or the Y rated version?

 

[ThrillHill]

As everyone has pointed out, tires are a bit off a trade off depending on what your priorities are. The Continental Extremecontact DWS06 225/50/17 have treated me fairly well for spirited driving, while still being comfortable enough for regular day-to-day commuting, with excellent wet performance and fair tire life. Are they Pilot Super Sports for ultimate dry grip? No, but unless you're going to the track or hitting the limits of your car on a main road (not recommended), many probably wouldn't notice the difference.
