Default Honda...

Hi guys! I hope it's okay to ask this question. My aunt has an Honda Accord. (I've tried many times to get her over to Lexus, but she's a Honda girl.) I'm trying to find a good Honda forum for her as she needs recommendation on good tires for her Accord.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good Honda forum or even tires for her? We live in Utah, so she needs some good all seasons. Winter/Summer tires are not a possibility for her.

Many thanks.

I say check out tire rack if it is tires you are looking for. You can search reviews based upon brand model and make your decisions.

I wonder if there are any All Weather tires that fit the Honda Accord? Are they available on Tire Rack? They are not widely available yet and not (yet) manufactured by the big tire companies like Michelin or Bridgestone.

If you are not familiar with All Weather tires, they are said to be essentially Winter tires that you can leave on the car all year long, like All Season tires. But unlike All Season tires, All Weathers have a special rubber compound that is neither too soft in the summer (like Winter tires) or too hard in the winter (like Summer or All Season tires).

They may be a good bet for a place like Utah... if they are available.

I've had excellent luck with Continental Contipro Contact all-season tires. Also had good luck, traction-wise in the winter, with the Bridgestone Potenza RE-92 tires before that, but they weren't as long-lasting, wear-resistant, or quiet as the Continentals.

Thanks so much for the help guys. I really appreciate it. I will let me aunt know about the All Weather Tires and the Continental ones.

Thank you, again.

Acurazine is one of the best Honda website though many members are younger and and a little back and forth between members.

As for all seasons with some snow capability, Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 is the best choice, they are excellent and priced very well, try Tire rack or Tirebuyer, I got a great deal from Tirebuyer especially if you have them shipped to one of their installers, look for a $70 gift card deal from Continental too.

Do a Google search for Honda owners forums. You should come up with a few. Here's one that has a section dedicated to tires...
