Honda used Bridgestone as OE when I bought my car in 1996. I got good use from those tires.

Maybe try to figure out WHY they keep going? If it's potholes or nails, then no tire will protect from that.

Default michelin blowouts

thank you for your responses!
I've gotten these 3 sidewall blowouts in less than 1 year from hitting shallow potholes. In the past I've had Infiniti G35 with 17" low profiles, hit my share of potholes, no blowouts First with oem Goodyears, then with Bridgestones.
Anyhow I'm getting Falken ZE912s today. No matter what brand I read about, there's conflicting info. So at least I'll save money in future blowouts.
Thanks again.
Charlie

The Yokohama Avid TRZ are pretty good at a decent price.
