Hi Guys and Eric if you are reading this as I know you are a tire junkie!
My car is a 2004 Honda accord 2.4L 5 speed auto.
On my way home tonight one of my back tires blew. I bought my car several months ago with some cheep tires on it. I was already wanting to put a good set of Michelins on anyways. I just could not justify it. Now I can!
I do a lot of highway driving to an from work twice a week. I need a good tire. Other than Just sticking with the Michelin brand, what other suggestions might you have? I’m not much a tire guy… I just like a smooth and quite ride.
Let me know your thoughts guys!

p215/50r17 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport
Would be a great performance tire.
With the size being what comes on the base model Accords and Bridgestone Potenza being the high end brand they used on the concept variant of the car.Also check out tirerack.com — it’s a great site to do some research on tires. They have tons of reviews on many different brands.
tirerack is great for researching tires – I particularly like the spider charts where you can compare the factors you find important for the different tires.
It sounds like you are looking for a good all-season tire, rather than something performance based. The Michelin Defender is a good tire – reasonably priced, very quiet, and comfortable. If you are looking for higher performing all season, the Michelin Premier A/S reviews well, as does the perennial favorite in the high performance all season category, the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (current version is the A/S 3+) – it’s going to be noisier than the others (though it’s not a bad tire in that respect) but the stiffer sidewalls might translate into a less comfortable ride than you are looking for.
We’ve been running Michelin Defenders on our Honda Odyssey and really like them. For a more performance oriented tire, I have been running Pirelli P-Zero All Season Plus tires on my Subaru and they have been great.
