Opinions to buy new tires now, or wait until fall

[CKN]

The price listed on Walmart site is about $118 off for 4 without a mail in rebate, so a little better deal, have to see if a local place will price match.

That's a Walmart only tire-isn't it?

In North Dakota, you should consider all weather tires

Nokian WRG5
Nordman Solstice 4 (the old WRG4)
Toyo Celsius II
General 365AW
Cooper Enduramax

If you don't want to spend too much money:
Milestar AW365
Prinx Hiseason 4S HS1
Fortune Climaflex 4S FSR402. It seems to be the cheapest all-weather tire in your size

If you still prefer name brand tires but are waiting for a rebate or sale, you might be able to wait for Memorial Day sales

1 psi in 2 weeks isn't that bad, but of course it could always get worse. Since your Honda has indirect TPMS, you don't have to worry about sensors, and thus you can use slime. If you do, remember to tell them about it when you replace the tires

I always use Costco for tires. If that's an option, you'll get a better tire and deal than WalMart.

I stay away from Hankook, Nitto, Goodyear, most Bridgestones, Firestone and especially Kuhmo. Weird imported name tires that are "just the same as" or "made in the same factory as" are to be avoided. Imported junk.

A quality Michelin is going to be #1, Pirelli makes some great tires. Conti and Yokohama often have great choices too.

Most of your view is misinformed. OK-how many years ago did you run any of these tires?
The Kumho Crugen HT51 gets solid reviews and has been compared to a Michelin.

Because I know most have just released a new generation of tires.

OK-find the bad tires and get back to us.

Those tires are decent-but yes they are noisy. Of course-the vehicle in question is noisy as well.

The majority of cabin noise is from the tires, on a newer smooth stretch of highway, it is very quiet.

I replaced the Hankook original tires with Continentals. Transformed the 2019 CR-V EX-L. On another freakin' level.

Hankook is the only tire I put at the curb at 10k - and felt guilty when someone took them …

Thanks, that's the kind of upgrade I'm looking for.
You don't happen to remember the model of Continentals?

That’s what I find in rent cars …

5-6/32 is a lot of tread, unless you can sell them I would wait until clearance or sales hit Walland and the others and change them out then.

1-2psi a week is nothing, likely bead or rim, just overinflate 5-10 psi and drive on

They do have a fair amount of tread left, but are bottom tier, so don't mind looking early and maybe get lucky and score a decent deal.

I'm a little undecided on going with all weather, we live in a very small town, a speed limit of 25, no traffic light's, just a few stop signs. We watch the weather close before leaving town. The majority of the miles we drive are longer 60 to 170 mile trips, so would like a tire that is suited best for that. The only time we ever get caught off guard is from low hanging fog that deposits moister on the below freezing roads causing ice, the weather channel has a tough time predicting freezing fog.

The Continental TrueContact Tour 54 is not a Walmart only tire, I see it listed on other tire stores online page with a similar starting price of $205

I buy tires as soon as I need them. And I sure wouldn't put off getting new ones in the spring. All it takes is a patch of standing water at 50mph or so and you can go for the ride of your life.

Consider an all weather tire since you have real winter.
Goodyear weatherready 2 have been getting great reviews
Michelin Crossclimate 2 is the category benchmark

and continential lx25 have excellent winter performance.
pirelli weatheractive are currently number 1 on tirerack's customer review survey.

Since it seems like you might want more than round and black I suggest visiting tirerack and watching some of their recent applicable comparison review videos.

 

[Dave Hess]

I’m in the same situation as OP and will buy new tires.

Rainy season starts soon and can hold off but feel better with new tires.

Probably getting pirelli scorpion AS plus 3's this week.

Sams club has a deal for 662$ in my size + install/tax
I considered a few of the All weather tires but since I have winter set I dont really need winter performance from them beyond cold weather and maybe a few flakes in the shoulder seasons.

 

[JohnnyJohnson]

Your milage and tread left would suggest to me that you should be good until the Labor Day sales hit.

 

[Kira]

Conti is a respected brand and I've had good tires from them.

I kinda thought if I was to select one tire brand from good experiences, it'd be Continental.
I am, however, open to other avenues of thought.

just overinflate 5-10 psi and drive on

AND keep checking!
To slacktide_bitog: Great informative post. a.From experience?, b.You Slime?

You sound ready to buy.

What was new, 9/32?

I am looking forward to an upgrade, but also would like to get more use out of the current set... don't know how long until I cave and buy new ones.

I can't remember if I checked when they were new, but sounds about right. Wore pretty fast for 16000 miles.

 

[Kira]

Passenger car tires are all 9-11/32, new, no?

Wore pretty fast for 16000 miles.

Maybe yes, maybe no.
High miler or softer performance tire?
Do you have a heavy foot?
