The Vehicle Lab is an excellent resource for discovering more information about the best tires for your Honda Accord.

Tire Size

The first thing you need to do is find out what size tire your vehicle takes. This can be found on the wall of your current casing, and in your car’s handbook. The sizing will include:

The section width – how wide the tire is in millimetres.

Aspect ratio profile – this is the ratio of the tire’s height to the width. You should be aware that a low tire profile gives a firmer ride rather than a softer one, with better handling. These tires are noisier and generally more expensive than those with a higher aspect ratio profile.

Rim profile – This is the diameter of the rim, which is what the tire is fitted to. This measurement is generally in inches.

Load rating – this is the maximum amount of load that the tire can take.

Speed rating – this is the maximum speed the tire can take, and a code is given based on its load rating.

Quality vs. Price:

Once you have decided on the correct size of tire for your car or vehicle, the next step is to determine the quality of tires you’re looking for. This is based mainly on your budget and needs. This budget can also fluctuate based on the area you live (aka. the desert, a place with four seasons, etc.). A tire made for better performance will be more expensive, and generally, these higher priced items will last longer potentially giving you better value over time. All tires meet certain safety standards when bought new, so even if you choose a cheaper option, you can still count on a right tire for a certain period of time. The quality length of these items can vary depending on what you may be using your Honda Accord for. If you’re in construction and use your car to load up and move heavy items, you may need better quality tires as opposed to someone who merely drives to an office job daily.

Premium Options:

Modern tires have a massive amount research and technology behind them and are engineered to last for a long time. You can expect to get 15,000 to 20,000 miles with regular use. These tires are can also be expected to perform better on the road, will handle better in adverse weather conditions and will have lower noise levels.

Mid-range Tires

If the more expensive tire options are over your budget, it is worth considering a mid-range tire. These won’t have quite the performance of the top end products, and the brands may not be as well know; however, they can still perform well under normal driving conditions. These tires can give you great value for money and if you look after them can have a long lifespan.

Budget Rubber

Cheap or low-cost tires are often a necessity but will not have the lifespan of a more expensive product, making them potentially less value for money in the long term. You can expect to get about 7000 to 8000 miles on budget tires and will perform as well as more expensive alternatives in the summer months. In the winter, budget tires will not perform as well in wet or snowy/icy conditions.
