Pirelli, Toyo or Goodyear
I need some help deciding what tire. I have stock rims and would like stock size. I say I am a "Spirited Highway Commuter", and I need an all season tire.
Michelin tires seem to be too pricey for my tastes, so I have narrowed it to three others. The size for my car is 205/60 16 92v 1. Pirelli P7 Cinturato All Season Plus 2. Toyo Versado LX II 3. Goodyear Eagle A/S |

The problem that I have with the Michelins is that they will run $700 for a set installed. Plus the MXV tires look like they are being replaced by the Premier A/S which is even more costly, and the Primacy isn't available anymore in the 92v configuration.

FWIW, I wouldn't bother spending the extra $15 per tire for the "V" speed rating; odds of you ever even getting near the "H" speed rating are most likely between zero and nil; that and your car is most likely governed to either 118 mph or 128 mph anyway so it would be impossible for you to exceed the "H" rating. |
Thanks Shipo you have great advice.
On the speed rating, no I won't be exceeding 80mph, (unless one of those semi drivers from Quebec we get around here is on my tail) I will take your advice and get the Pirelli tires. It was really down to the Pirelli and Toyo anyway. I need to get 4 of the same tire on my car before the warm weather sets in. I will update on the post when I have driven on them 6 weeks or so. |

Well I have had the Pirelli P7 tires on the car for a few days now and I can say that they have made a VAST improvement over the mix of Hercules tires on the back and Goodyear on the front. Quiet straight and smooth.... dramatic improvement.
But, perhaps it's was not just the tires. I also had an alignment, when the tires were installed. I had it all done at the Honda Dealer. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6...36-no/tire.jpg https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/for...ine=1401110892 |
