    Hi,

    I have Accord 99, 4 cyl, manual, in Toronto Canada, mostly Highways
    The info for tires on the door shows, 195/65/15 H

    I Must change it my tires, very soon.
    What are the recomended tires,
    Just browsed on the net,

    Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S
    Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus
    Bridgestone Turanza LS-H
    Bridgestone Potenza RE950
    BFGoodrich Traction T/A H

    maybe others

    I' am not a professional driver, but still want good tires, believe rated H
    All season
    good handling
    semi concern for tread wear, noise

    Thanks in advance for some hints, etc.

  2. I've had experience with the Potenzas - miserable treadwear (20K miles is
    optimistic) and they pick up nails and screws like magnets.

    i say go for a tire that uses a silica rubber compound. michelin &
    continental for sure [unless they're the ultra-cheap ones]. some other
    manufacturers recently. silica compounds offer better wet grip and
    lower rolling resistance, which of course means safety and better gas
    mileage. if your tire retailer doesn't know what they are, they're
    /not/ silica compounds.

    i have been using Goodyear assurance tripletred on my 99 accord and have
    been very pleased with them. from what i understand, the assurance
    comforttred isn't as good a tire as the assurance tripletred.

    the tripletreds are quite and seem to have really good traction. I would
    purchase them again.

    Here's another vote for the Goodyear Assurance TripleTred as installed on
    our '97 Odyssey (also note that it was the top rated tire in Consumer
    Reports' recent tire review article.) Here in Souhern California, we have
    had no firsthand snow experience with them yet, but have been very happy in
    all other respects.

    RC ... I live in Massachusetts. I bought Nokian tires for my '99 accord
    last fall as an all-weather tire that would be especially good in snowy
    weather. I have liked them so far. The only advice I would give on the
    above list is that the MXV4's are very expensive and proably not worth it.

    I liked the Michelins that came on my 2000 SE, but didn't really want to pay
    for a new set. I tried two different sets of Falken Ziex ZE-512s and
    couldn't get either of them balanced well enough that the car didn't shimmy
    at freeway speeds. I ended up with the Yokohama Avid H4s and have been very
    happy with them so far.

    I replaced the OEM Michelins on my '01 Odyssey EX with B.F. Goodrich
    Traction T/As (98T) and have been happy with them as well.
