1999 156k mi, doesn't handle like it used to
 
My 1999 Accord has 156k mi and the original struts and shocks. They appear to be in good shape. However, the car doesn't handle the road like it used to. Would replacing the struts help? If so, should I also replace the shocks?
Thanks

Are the shocks and/or struts leaking oil? Does the car "bounce" when you hit a bump?

If none of the above then I'm thinking it might just be your tires.

No leaks or bouncing. The tires are relatively new, not cheap tires.

Thanks for the response.

Not all tires are created equal; some specialize in a smooth quiet ride, others specialize in razor sharp handling.

What tires are you running?
