What are the best tires for a Honda accord for under $100 a piece?

I have a Honda Accord and I need 4 new tires. Money is a bit tight right now so I don't want to spend too much. Can anyone reccommend some tires around or under the 100$ range that are a good value in regards to tread wear, handling and comfort.What are the best tires for a Honda accord for under $100 a piece?To find the best tires for your car, look at the sidewalls and find the tire size. It should be something like 205/60-16 (I'm guessing the year of your car. That's for a 2002) If you want to change sizes, use the size you chose.



Go to the Tire Rack at:

Enter your car make, year, and model in Box #1, check to make sure the tire size is right, and then follow the menus.



If you are changing sizes, then skip the car input and go directly to 'Tires.'



If you don't input any preferences (click 'proceed to results'), it will give you every tire they carry in that size. Don't worry about speed range -- they'll select that for you. You can sort in order of price and check the box by the ones in your price range.



Then click on 'compare selected tires' and it will show all the tires you selected arrayed left to right, with their ratings in various categories listed below.



Find the highest numbers in the categories you care about, and that's your tire.



I looked up the 2002 Accord V6 and of the 205/60-16's they list, the Yokohama AVID H4S would be my choice at $74 each. I have these on my wife's and daughter's cars.What are the best tires for a Honda accord for under $100 a piece?I have Uniroyal Tiger Paws on my 96 v/6 accord,it's the 4 th set I have had on it and my favorite,ride quality is exellent,good in all weather,(I was actually impressed in the snow)and I have seen them on sale for 75 to 80 $ a tire,I work at dealer so I paid less.205/60/15 is my tire size. btw my Accord has 270,000 miles on it.What are the best tires for a Honda accord for under $100 a piece?If you get 4 tires under $100 you will probably be buying them used. Check the DOT numbers to determine their age (rightmost numbers) and don't buy anything over 6 yrs as rubber looses its oil. Instead, buy 2 new tires for the front and put your best used on the back. Cheap tires will cost you more over the long haul. Takeoffs from wrecked cars might be your best bet if they are quality. Michelin or any 50,000 tire is recommended.
