Quite possibly I will. It’s just a pretty old model at this point (which worked well), so if something better is out there, I am all ears.
Honda Accord Hybrid Tires
- Thread starter JHZR2
- Start date
You can likely get the OE if you specify it.
FWIW the Escape HY has the newer Primacy and I’d rate them very very good, especially for an OE tire.

Wow they look good!
I asked because Michelins can develop severe cracking early on, but your look new!
The sidewalls on my OE Honda Accord Hybrid cracked around 36K. I replaced them with the Michelin Primacy. Salesman told me they weren't wearing well, but I just changed them with over 40K, and a brave soul would have driven them another year. Excellent tire, quiet, handled well, much better in snow than the OE. I lost a little bit of MPG but very little. Just put on the Cross Climate 2. They feel different and steer differently. They are quick but don't "track" as well as the Primacy. And they flat spot overnight, but come back to round in about 3 miles. Time will tell. They ride better than the Primacy but are a little noisier. Should be much better in bad weather.
Replace with the Michelin Energy Savers; Gas is expensive. Tire rack test determined that the Michelin E/S used 7% less than the GY assurance comfort tread. I run them on my Camry and like the ride quality.

so are Michelin tires
With 6/32 left, he paid for tire he didn't use.
If Michelin is a must, get the Primacy 4, which should still give you good mpg and low rolling resistance and last long enough to not hit the wear bars in 6 years.
Can the Accord hybrid run in EV mode? If so, what is the longest you've gone on electric power alone?
The Euro summer tires have the EU Tire Label with fuel efficiency ratings A-G (A being the best). Any A-rated tire should give mpg you find satisfactory.
And some will say that any tire that lasts that long is a piece of plastic
And when you need winter tires, there's the TS850P

Well, he liked the tire and got 70,000 miles out of it. I'm just passing along info to the op to help his decision making.so are Michelin tires

A word of caution:
It is common for OE tires - tires that come on a new car from the factory - to be discontinued about 3 years after the first production dates.
Since this vehicle is an 8 year old vehicle, that likely applies here.
Good News!! It appears that Michelin continues to supply tires to subsequent vehicle platforms in the same size. That means while A tire may be available in the same make and model, it is very likely different, but probably a bit better.
