2012 Honda Accord EX-L Tires

[monel777]

Looking at Michelin Defender 2, Yokohama Avid Ascend LX, Continental True Contact Tour, or General Altimax rt45 for new tires on my Accord. Size 225/50 r17. Less Noise, smooth ride and No winter driving (live in Louisiana).

Of those 4, which is best tires. I know Michelin has road hazard and that is a bonus.

Thanks!

The Defenders in my opinion. I've had many sets and they are quiet and smooth all the way to the end.

My gut would be to take them in the order you listed….

I haven’t seen test reports on the last three.

Me too, thanks!

That's what was on my 2011 Honda until someone ran a red light and totaled my Accord.

My dad has some Michelin defender t+h tires that have been daily driven on since 2015. I don't think you can go wrong with Michelin.

Michelins are my choice.
I was surprised with my OEM Contis the other day on the Interstate. They were far nosier than I ever remember at 75mph
Smooth but noisy.

Every time I switch from Michelin tires, I am unsatisfied and I go back. However, I do make sure to purchase ones that are highly rated. Hard to beat the deals Costco has.

I think the True Contact Tour rate better for wet grip from the testing if that matters. The Defender 2 is newer, I think replaced the T&H basically.
