I'm considering getting something like 50,000 mile General G-Max AS 05s instead of something like the long lasting and highly rated Michelin CrossClimate2
Honda Accord parts reviews
In my experience, it’s most likely the alternator, I’ve replaced so many I’ve lost count.
My local mechanic put a new alternator in my older Accord late last year. It was around $550, including a new serpentine belt.
My 06 2.4 accord is at 285k right now on original chain, like others have said as long as you stay on top of your maintenance you should be fine
I put 251,000 km on my '07 Accord I4/5MT and I was on the factory timing chain (and clutch too).
Honda cvts pretty reliable. My wife’s accord shifts so smooth compared to the 6 speed auto in my Tacoma.
Honda OEM alternator
If your car feels like it’s bouncing/bobbing sideways (I’m guessing that’s what you mean by “bubbling”), it’s probably due to the softer material used on the winter tires. I’m running a set of Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and they show the same behavior. The effect will less noticeable eventually as the tire passes the break-in period.
I had 280k on my 01 accord when the og snapped, thought it had been swapped by previous owner as it looked to be in good shape when I did the water pump and I ate that about as fast as I stopped when it killed my engine.
I needed a starter for my 2013 accord. Couldn't wait for OEM and bought a duralast that lasted 2 months.
