Have a 2004 Accord Coupe. Need new tires and open to suggestions as to the best tires for the coupe. Don't want to spend a fortune but need something with grip and I only put on 2k a year with local driving and an occasional trip.

 

What's a fortune? Less than $300?

The Tire Rack has good reviews and a ton of tires to choose from (not hat you have to buy from them). Getting a brand name all-season tire will be your best bet. A lot of people complain about the OEM Michelin tires concerning their road noise and harsh ride. Since you only put on 2k a year, treadwear rating probably aren't in your interest and you could get a lower treadwear (200-300), somewhat performance tire for extra grip if you'd like.
