I just wanted to get some suggestions on here for tires on my 2009 Honda CR-V.
The original tires that are on my car are total junk. After just 7500 miles when I had them rotated at my Honda Dealer, I find out that the back two that wer moved to the front, had broken belts in both of them!! Honda replaced them for free. But here is the thing: The brand new tires they put on, are the dame tires that I had before, but the ones they rotated to the back look like completely different tires because they are so worn already. I don't think they are going to make it into winter.
Here is my criteria for new tires:
- 2009 Honda CR-V 4WD EX
- I live in Ohio. We get some pretty bad snows and good amount of rain in summer. I want a good traction tire in wet conditions.
- I drive about 75% hilly highways/ 15% gravel roads/ 10% city
- I am a pretty easy going driver. I do drive spiritedly when I drive on nice paved back country roads
- I had General Grabber AT2 on my Honda Element when I had it. I don't want tires like that again. Traction and grip was great, but noise and MPG were horrible.
- Basically I want a good grippy tire in wet conditions, but not have a huge detriment on gas and noise.

Michelin Latitude Tour is always a good choice.
I just got Yokohama TRZ for my Tiguan. Had them on our CRV too.
Actually, just sold the Scorpions that came off my new car. 215/65-16. Got $275 for them, so I'm not crying.
Post a size for your vehicle so we can look at some exact choices.

I didn't know a Honda dealer replaced tires .... I thought tire companies did.
i've put both the yoko trz and the firestone destination le on the new crv's, the factory tires will only last 30k if you rotate and are easy on them, my our customers seem the happiest with the fireston destination le's.

$112 each is also a great price for that size! these tires work well in the rain, i live in oregon and with the amount of these tires we've installed we'd hear about it if they weren't good in the rain.

Just my .02.....
See I originally wanted Goodyear Fortera TripleTreds. But even the price on Tirerack is turning me away. I know they are really nice tires, from people I know that have them on there SUV's and the Assurance TripleTreds on their cars. They handle excellent in the rain, snow and ice. I couldn't believe how they handled when I drove them.
Only problem is MPG difference and noise.

I considered Altimax HP for my Tigger, but would feel silly with directional tires on an SUV (ducks for cover). If the Altimax RT comes in your size, that's a hit and will give better wear, w/o being directional.
nobody said you where an idiot, i've installed and seen lots of different tires, i can say from my experiance that they are less then great tires, but unless you've had a bad experiance with them there would be no way to know that. the altimax is a nice tire, i just don't trust the company that makes them, just simply trying show what i was responding to. sorry if i offended you, that was not my intention, i'm just trying to give this the best advice i can.

Looking at TR site, that's a tough size.
I would maybe just get the Kumho KH 16s and be done with it.
Yoko Parada would be worth looking at
Dunlop Sig CS
Destination ST if you feel brave.
The Mich Latitudes are on special, big time....maybe the pick if money is no issue. They are #1 in their class. Case closed.

Fotera Silent Armor is supposed to be good.

Suggesstions?
no, i work at a honda dealership and these are on hondas approved replacement tire list.
