Need tire advice - 4/24/2008 7:03:55 AM    sbutler   Posts: 11 Joined: 4/17/2008 Status: offline I replaced my factory Bridgestones at 96K with Yokohoma Avids.  I do a lot of highway driving and was very unhappy with the hydroplaning with the Bridgestones.  I read a lot of positive reviews on the Avids and was very happy with them for awhile.  I now have 50K on them and they need to be replaced.  They are EXTREMELY noisy.  They also wore out much faster in the center of the tire, which is usually a sign of over inflation... but I always keep them inflated to the spec on the door frame (I believe 32psi).  I'm used to getting at least 80K on my tires, so I am disappointed at the durability of these.  Perhaps that's the trade-off for better grip? If I get them again should I underinflate slightly in hopes for more even wear?  Can anyone suggest a different tire with good wet grip and long life for about $100?  I drive 36K a year and I can't afford to spend a fortune on tires.  Thanks! _____________________________ 2004 Accord EX Sedan 4cyl - 150K miles as of 4/08 Post #: 1
