What is a good brand/model of tire for a daily driver all stock 95 Accord with 195/60-15? I live in Arkansas so a winter tire isn't critical.

Thanks

 

I think a great tire for your car is the Kumho ASX. It's their top-of-the-line all-season tire, so it offers decent performance in all conditions and has the advantages of all-seasons (lasts a bit longer, won't strand you when you get the occasional snow). And it's bargain-priced, $50/tire in 195/60-15 at the Tire Rack.

For another choice, you could get the Yokohama ES100, which also comes in 195/60-15. It's a very good summer tire, so its performance will be even better than the Kumho ASX as long as the temperatures are above freezing. However, it's a lot more expensive ($85) and it won't last quite as long (maybe 25-40K miles, vs maybe 40-60K miles for the ASX).

I think the ASX is probably the better bet, unless you're a real performance enthusiast (e.g. take your car to autocrosses, etc), in which case the ES100 might do it for you.

Exactly the kind of post I was looking for. for you sir

 

Thanks for the input. I searched, read, drug my feet and took my time. I ended up with a pair of BFG t/a's. I will see how they do.
