Re: Accord 99, tires
i have been using Goodyear assurance tripletred on my 99 accord and have
been very pleased with them. from what i understand, the assurance comforttred isn't as good a tire as the assurance tripletred. the tripletreds are quite and seem to have really good traction. I would purchase them again. "RC" <3d@aol.com> wrote in message news:MdAXf.3751$u15.589521@news20.bellglobal.com.. .

RC ... I live in Massachusetts. I bought Nokian tires for my '99 accord last fall as an all-weather tire that would be especially good in snowy weather. I have liked them so far. The only advice I would give on the above list is that the MXV4's are very expensive and proably not worth it. -- BeeL |
