Default Accord Tires reccomendation please.

My girls car is rolling on her stock Michelins with 15" Special Editon wheels off a 96 Accord. Hers is a 94.

Wondering what kind of tires I can replace hers with because I know these Michelins are crap and I dont want to buy them again.

I don't want anything performance rated because the car is used strictly as a daily driver??

What can you guys reccomend that will give me the most bang for the buck??

Thanks.

I just bought some kumho's 711...215/45/17 for 70 bucks per. So 15's would be real cheap. Everyone says they like the 712's, and 711 are less sticky hence longer treadwear. got em from http://www.whalentire.com

go to The Tire Rack, enter size, select 'sort by' price, and then scroll down until the price is right.

195/60's are your best bet for cheapiousness.

Off the top of my head:
Yokohama Avid's
Kumho 711's or 712's
Goodyear Eagle HP's

but you'd need two to three sets to last as long as the PS2's or the Ecsta's.... and you die in the rain.

I would definitly suggest the Pirelli P400 Touring, they are 48$ a piece and the treadwear is high, but the grip is awesomely good for what they are, i have these tires and they will last forever, the traction in wet is pretty good for this cheap tires. and if you don't believe a word of what i'm saying, go to tirerack.com and see the reviews of this tire.
I have them in my car and they have handle the streets of Caracas, and there are a LOT of potholes, bumps and stuff and still look like new.
Try those.

20-25K miles. 30K if she drives like a granny. that's way more tire that she needs on a daily driver. nice tire though.
