Honda parts reviews
I've had some Yokohama AVID Ascend GT's on mine for about a year and a half with no complaints.
For my 2011 Element AWD, switched from the original Goodyears to Continental Control Contact in 235/65/16 (calculated for appropriate aspect ratio). No rubbing in the wheel wells. Better ride and traction.
I just traded in those Accords this month for '22 Sport 2.0T's that came stock with Michelin Primacy MXM4. Night and day difference on the road noise and it absolutely gives it a more comfortable ride.
Impressively even wear. Got every bit of life out of that set.
I feel like a broken record with this one, but I highly recommend the Michelin PS4S or PS4AS. They made my accord feel a whole lot more connected to the road, and the All Seasons handle Wisconsin winters just fine.
I have the same car and just got bridgestone turanza quiettrack tires. I didn't like the Goodyear that came with the car as I felt they were loud and you felt everything in the road. The Bridgestone we're a huge upgrade. Very quiet and smooth ride.
New rotors and pads without breaking in at all, just normal driving as soon as changed. Pads lasted 30.000km ish, while rotors wrapped at about 40.000km ish (pads replaced at 30k with same R1 concepts). Brake feel and performance was OK, but much worse than when broken in. Light squeal at about 15.000km and onwards. New rotors and pads following break in procedure, 10 stops from 90km/h (55mph aprox), never coming to a complete stop, then driving 30 minutes never coming to a complete stop, rolling to a stop on neutral and waiting another 30 minutes. Pads lasted about 40.000km ish, rotors lasted 80.000km ish, pads replaced at 40.000km with same R1 concepts ceramic.
I changed my drive belt tensioner and belt about 1 month ago... I went aftermarket and bought gates for both (for an Accord 2006 A/T). Today, almost an hour into a drive, the belt shredded and the shredded part hit everything and was making a lot of noise. When I looked into it, it seems that one of the strands from the belt has come off... Just strange this issue surfaced after 2000km or so since installing, but maybe it's because the belt has expanded over this time?
At the 30,000 mile oil change, my dealer told me my tires were bald. They are the Hankook GT tires EX 235/60R18.
I went online that minute and checked to see for how many miles the Hankook GTs EX 235/60R18 were rated for, and they are rated for 75,000.
