Best Tyres for the Honda Accord iVtec Type S saloon

Better than pzero nero gt, On my car are superb, the wear it is ok, they have like 5.5-6mm after 17k km, in two seasons, now it is the 3 season, and they hold very well. I am very happy with them.

I have been driving these tyres on my Honda Accord 2.4 iVtec (2004) for two winters. They proved to be very good on wet and dry asphalt on low temperature. I haven't really got a chance to test them on roads properly covered with snow, but few inches of snow on the road will not be a problem for this tyre both when breaking and accelerating. I have driven them for around 10k miles, and cannot really give realistic mark for wear.

Expensive tyre, but I'm very disappointed, there is no any feedback, they don't put the power to the road well, very soft sidewalls, doesn't respond well when you turn in. In high speed very wobbly, like floaty,not stable at high speed build insecure in high speed. I will never buy again michelin. Very expensive too MPS4S also have soft sidewalls.

I replaced my Michelin PS3/4 with these tyres on my Honda Accord Type S and I must say that i am loving them. Compared to PS, for me they just handle better. Maybe even better dry and wet grip. Michelin was better on the initial turn in because it had stiffer and harder side walls. These tyres have thiner sides. But after that, oh boy, welcome to the world of grip. Maybe they are a bit more comfortable than the Pilots.

Hi guys, I live/drive in Guatemala City, Central America. We have TERRIBLE roads here, all varieties of roads, concrete (very few), asphalt/tarmac, "cratery" roads (lots of harsh hits on contact patch, sidewalls when trying to avoid holes, etc.), muddy roads,
flooded roads, hydroplaning roads, stony paths, etc., etc., etc... and the "fun" part is that you find them anywhere in the cities or rural. Having said that and being fair to ANY tyre brand, after 33,000 kms (20k miles) of spirited roads and spirited driving style on my 2009 Honda Accord V6 sedan I have to congratulate my 225/50 R17 Michelin Energy XM2 tyres, very good wear (lots of harsh hits on contact patch, sidewalls when trying to avoid holes, etc.), very good grip, good handling, BUT noisy and too much feedback. Yesterday I had my first tyre flat due to a very sharp pothole, it flattened after driving 20 miles, while parked, I took it for repair (very normal AND CHEAP to repair a tyre here in my country) but I got bad news... the sidewall was punctured like knife so I replaced it with a Dunlop SP Sport LM704 which I put it in the front along with the spare tyre (brand new 225/50 R17 Michelin Energy XM2 with brand new original rim from factory), took the "old" front tyre for spare tyre now... "problem solved". Just for you to know, a new 225/50 R17 Michelin Energy XM2 tyre cost here US$130 versus a new Dunlop SP Sport LM704 cost US$90... by the way a tyre repair here is US$6 aprox.

Drive safely.

Replaced 2 Bridgestone front tyres with the Falken 914 Ecorun, and I am very impressed, they are every bit as good. The grip in the dry is absolutely perfect, as are many tyres. However the wet grip has really impressed me. I tend to drive a little bit enthusiastically, and the Accord has 155 hp so it's not a total slouch, and I have never had a problem with these tyres. I have tested them in the wet on a quiet road nearby that has a new smooth tarmac surface, and they were faultless. I found it very difficult to get a skid doing emergency stops, only the ABS would activate on extreme braking. Also tried throwing it around roundabouts and turns with plenty of steering lock but got none of that graunching or slipping that you would sometimes get, and even got with the previous Bridgestones. At nearly half the price of premium brands, I would highly recommend these tyres, but mostly on performance, not price. I read a lot of reviews before buying these tyres, and the positive reports are accurate, at least for my size and type of vehicle / tyre. Buy with confidence!

Noisy, too soft and i dont feel that they are in any kind of contact with road. They do a solid job in every day driving, when drive is slow and relaxed. If you wont to feel some speed, that is where problems ocure. And they don't last long either!

Went from Yokohama Advan V105 to Federal 595 RSR to Nankang NS2R 180tw/medium compound. On my 280HP Accord with race suspension Yokohama was the safest tyre on wet, lasted for 21K miles and offer surprising grip in corners. On dry public roads was 90% performance of semi-slicks, 140% of performance on wet, and 200% of performance in cold around 0'C conditions and much quieter and civilised ride. Very nicely balance tyre but for ultimate grip and feedback you can't beat semi-slicks.
These Nankang NS2R are the only semi-slicks I know, please correct me, that last long enough, is not utterly useless on wet and does not brake the bank. Its even 30Euro cheaper a corner then Yokohama and that's enough to me to buy the Nankang again but for the same price and daily driven car reason would tell me Yokohs but the rest of the body will disagree. Try them both!

Went from Yokohama Advan V105 to Federal 595 RSR to Nankang NS2R 180tw/medium compound. On my 280HP Accord with race suspension setup after 8K miles I still can see another 5K !
On dry there are real race tyre like a Federal RSR which might have an edge in high speed race applications but you must be mad to use both of them on public roads in full potential.
On wet miles ahead of Federal RSR which I found rather dangerous then fun on wet roads.

After 12000 miles there is still enough rubber on the tyres, I guess that will make another 5-6 k before changing them.

Driving under 35 miles/hour they are not noisy, however over 35 they are.

Dry grip is good but on the wet now with 2 mm rubber on the front, I don't like them. If you accelerate just a little fast the fronts spin and it becomes dangerous especially if you are on a corner. Breaking though still feels quite ok.

For a budget tyre they are ok to fit imo comparing price/quality. It's half the price of a premium brand and offer some quite acceptable performance. And they last at least the same number of miles if not more.

Given I had researched a lot, I admit that I expected more from this tyres, but ok, I am not dissatisfied. However, next time I will search for something else. I
