Fiji ST Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 My wife's CR-V is going to need new tires before the year's out and I've started researching some replacements. She's got Yokohama YK520s on there now and they're acceptable. They're not cupped or anything and they are noisy as shit on the highway and ride a bit hard, so I want something different. Big thing for us is quiet ride and good in rain/snow. She drives about 7000 miles per year so I'm not worried about longevity really. Performance is obviously not important either. I've found these (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Sumitomo&tireModel=Touring+LS+T&partnum=165TR6TOURLS&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Honda&autoYear=2006&autoModel=CR-V&autoModClar=) as well as these (http://ntb.com/tires/sku-detail/Yokohama-Avid-TRZ/P215-65R16-98T-215-65-16/sku20679.s?pageName=TireLandingBySize&skuId=sku20679&activeTab=1). I'll send a message to Derek obviously, but I was wondering if there's anything I'm missing as far as a good tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Oh, and I won't do Kumhos or Nexens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Why no Nexens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Couple friends have had them on various cars and none of them were very happy with them. And I'm not a huge fan of Korean tires in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Some 44x12.50x15's are my recommendation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Some 44x12.50x15's are my recommendation Won't fit, but 335-30-19 would look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I put a set of these Yokohama AVID Ascends on my RX330 a couple of months ago and I love them so far. Super quiet. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=AVID+Ascend+%28H-+or+V-Speed+Rated%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansonivan Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I've put the Hankook 727 on several friends cars with good results. Decent all season tire which stays quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Michelin Defenders are a very good tire. We sell tons of them and I've yet to hear any complaints in manufacture quality. Also during August at Tire Discounters we're doing a $60 mail in rebate on the Yokohama Avid Ascends. Pretty sure it's the ascends. DEREK should be able to correct me if wrong. He's at the Reynoldsburg Store. I'm at the Marysville store however I'm a service tech and only help out up front when needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I put some Firestone Destinations (RWL :fuckyeah:) on my wifes' Odyssey to replace the factory Michelins and they have been some of the nicest tires to drive on. Great grip in emergency avoidance maneuvers, quiet, great ride, and they wear really well. Got them for a great price on TireRack, IPS put them on earlier this year.

Lol, I should have stated that the only rankings important to me are noise and comfort, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
