Default 2001 V6 Accord - Tire Review

My first new set of tires for this car were BF Goodrich Traction T/A. I got about 60k miles out of them. They were great in dry pavement, ok in wet, and bareable in snow.

I got a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS70's for winter and they are amazing. ride great in dry/wet/snow, unbeatable traction (starting, cornering, and especially stopping) in wet and snow/ice.

I now have Bridgestone Turanza Serenity's. I read many good reviews and i'll let you all know how they work out.

My local Firestone offered me lifetime mount/balance so they will swap my summer and winter tires at no cost to me, every time i need.

the Turanza's are a decent tire. initial impressions are good. i'll put about 1000 miles on them in the coming week and report back.

I also had a set of Turanzas on one of our rides a few years back..Great sticky tire and I really liked the looks of the tread design and the great looks of the sidewalls..

I'm pretty picky with tires. asymmetrical tread is something i look for and all of my tires on the Accord have been. I was close to buying a new rim/tire package, but i love the ride comfort a taller sidewall can offer. I will say that in the corners, the Traction T/A were much more responsive and stiffer - they cornered like a low profile tire.
