I love my new 2008 Accord EX-L!

I hear you. I for one appreciate the data for what it does tell me.

Okay. I don't do that, but I hear you.

Dude...that wasn't a literal statement.

yet they affect the "rating" and that's a fact.

Which they rated lower than the Pilot HX MXM4.

You missed the whole point of this conversation, man...

Thats not an absolute statement, thats for sure.

I have. The problem is that the affected ratings don't differentiate between
the two.

I expect them to last only 30,000 or so anyway....and Im sure I will be
using something different when I get my next set.

I prefer Goodyears tires, fwiw.

Excellent point.

There are excellent tire choices for the Accord, most of which have
user comments consistent with Tire Rack test results. I strongly
suggest you go that route.

 

I have already gone thru that site a bunch, and see many possibilities.

Which ones would you go with, if it were your new 2008 Accord EX sedan?

Peace,
Polfus

Depends; lots of trade-offs. One set of tires for winter/summer? Lots
of snow? How will I drive the Accord - as if it were a sports car or
like a family car (that it is)? Manual or automatic trans? What's more
important - comfort or performance?

Asking me isn't a good idea. I have a sports car in the garage. My
Accord would be set up with a bias towards utility, comfort and
compliance. I'd probably consider Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S,
Bridgestone Turanza LS-H, Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge, Goodyear
Assurance TripleTred and Michelin HydroEdge. Price and warranty might
end up being my deciding factors. Based on my daughter's 2004 Accord
EX, I'd probably start hunting around for comments from folks who
replaced shocks before buying tires.

 

Thanks for your reply, man.

I would consider the Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge out of your choices.
