What is the tire size and how much do they run?

 

Honestly I really am Happy with my Pirelli P4 Four seasons they are cheap and in a year (14-15K) have no noticeable wear. The snow grip is superb even in slick snow it takes a ton of work to slip and they grip really well and not just for a non blocky tire, they are somewhat quiet although quiet tires aren't going to really silence the CR-V. I would suggest taking the vehicle back to the dealer this could be a suspension issue and why should you take the fiscal hit for a vehicle delivered with faults such as Tires, if the vehicle has significant pull it should not have passed state inspection.

 

Pirelli

I've always liked Pirelli. I remember one time when I replaced original tires (Pirelli) with Michellin on BMW 318I many years ago, the car didn't feel as good afterwards. I've always liked Pirelli. When I need to replace my tires on CR-V, I will definitely consider Pirelli. Pirelli from my previous experience seems to have better ride though they don't last as long as others.

 

Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza....made for SUV's, they ride like a car, outstanding in rain and snow. I love mine and would not change them.

 

I assume that the factory installed Bridgestone Deuler H/T is different from this Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza tires right?
Also, anyone used these tires below?? Can you comment on these tires please? They seem to have great reviews online as well...

* Michelin Defender (expensive though)
* Continental CrossContact LX20 with EcoPlus Technology (TireRack.com has it, not sure about what's EcoPlus Technology...)
* Cooper Lifeliner Touring SLE Tires (some people in this forum loves them and would endorse them)...

Thanks!

 

my agreement and endorsement on the alenza tires. wear seems to be much better than the stockers, which were worn out in less than 25,000 miles. it is hard to believe that both tires are made by the same company.

 

I've had mine on for about 15,000 miles in HOT weather, a few inches of rain and 6 inches of snow. No problems at all. These will be the only tires I use on the V. They are excellent for daily commuting as well.

 

I heard good things about the TripleTreds, if you can get past the price. I always run Kumho Ecsta ASX tires on my Accord and CRV (Summer duty only). And BFG AT on my CRV in the winter.

Get anything but the OEM tires.

My tires are 225/65-17 and cost $170 (before any rebates or discounts) at Discount Tire Company (www.discounttire.com). Tack on all additional costs at the dealer and it runs about $800 (again before rebates or other discounts). Money well spent...

 

i will stay with the bfgoodrich any style advantage or traction or super sport they have never put me down at all

 

We have Yokohama Avid's on our CR-V - they've been great in wear, ride, and price.

 

I live in Burlington VT,...Extreme winters. Just purchased a CRV from a Jeep GC. My question is, What is the best year round tire for my new CRV I don't like the thought of having two sets of tires. Is there anyone who goes through tough winters with just one set of all season tires and if so what should I look for?

 

Since you live in Vermont, you might want to check out the Firestone Destination AT as a year round tire - gets great reviews. You would have to go with the 235-65/17 though:

Um... I'm sorry but your question "what is THE best tire" has no answer... There is NO best tire for all purposes and driving styles. I run all terrains on mine because it's THE best tire for MY situation and driving habits, I get 50k+ miles out of them so I consider them the best for my application. On the flip side a mall rat that never ever leaves the pavement but lives in the north west and see's lots and lots of rain would need a totally different tire for their application and driving habits. Same goes for someone who spends all day at 80mph on a blistering hot freeway....

Is there good tires and bad tires, yes.. of course but there isn't ONE good tire for all applications same as there isn't just one crappy tire.

I don't mean to be rude but it's true... Your asking a question that will give you as many answers as there are drivers on the road.

 

Um... I'm sorry but your question "what is THE best tire" has no answer.

I could not agree more. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I'm honestly tired of the, "What's the best ______?" threads (not just here but on any forum you post on). There are as many opinions as there are people that reply. There is no "best". If you like a product there will be ten times as many people that hate it. Do what works for your particular needs or application. That will be the best.

 

I recently purchased Pirelli P4s because Goodyear discontinued the triple tread in 2nd gen sizing (205/70/15). Maybe I could have gone "plus zero" to keep the triple treads, but I don't understand the calculations, and I didn't want to leave it up to the guy at the tire $hop to figure it out for me. Not to mention I'm salty about Goodyear discontinuing my tire.

The P4s so far seem like a really good all around tire, especially for the price. They do pull a bit, as do most tires when you hit a puddle going 50mph, I'm yet to try P4s in the snow. I can vouch for the Goodyear triple tread as a great tire, especially in the rain. I've had them on 3 vehicles, they cut through puddles and do not pull at almost any reasonable speed. They're okay in the snow.

 

Wow -- 31K hits on a replacement tire thread. Folks, that's a ton.

What's even more remarkable is that there's no consensus WRT the "best" tire (which makes sense, of course; no one tire will suit all circumstances), but more significantly there are no standout runners-up, either. All the name brands have their advocates.

 

My CR-V does no off-roading (unless you count the gravel parking lot at the local bicycle trail) so I prefer highway tires. Since I spend a lot of time on interstates in the summer that means performance all-season tires with a A rating for traction and A for temperature. This would be far from the best tire for anyone who goes off-roading!

 

what is the standard size tires for crv 99 model?

I agree that there is no best tire for everyone, but advice helps. How many times can you actually compare one tire to another. They are not shoes. You can't just try them on and find out that these shoes are not the ones for you, unless spending $500-$1000 on tires is no big deal for you.

I had a GrandAM and they are actually good in the winter. I moved up to NY for a new job a few years ago. During that commute I have to go up a mountain. After the first mile, I've climbed 400ft. The second mile is another 200ft. It is straight highway. There is no other option except for going about 20miles around and in snow, it adds an easy hour.

When I experienced having to go between 10-20 mph down this hill to keep control, it was time for new tires. I went with Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds and they were awesome! I was descending down that grade at roughly 40mph with ease. They were so great that we got a set for my wife's Subaru and it was even better thanks to the AWD. Could plow through 6-8 inches of fresh powder without a wobble.

When I got my first 2007 CR-V, the tires on it were not going to last the winter. They don't make the Assurance TripleTred in 225/65R17 but they make a Fortera TripleTred. I convinced the dealer to go 50/50 on them. (Actually, they did after they saw that the set of tires was $900). Again, awesome. I easily took that hill at 40-50mph in bad snow, passing several other SUVs, trucks, Subarus and a poor little PT Cruiser that had to keep his tires turning right to go mostly straight.

Well, that CR-V just got totaled after being rear-ended and hard. I was forced off the road (gradually) and plowed through about 150ft of soft ground from a lot of recent rain. I was able to keep it straight thanks to my ABS and those tires.

Because my kids and I survived without a scratch, I got a new CR-V. Unfortunately, from a certain point of view, the tires on it have decent tread. They are Riken Trail A/P. I've never heard of them. Neither has the dealer. They were put on by the last owner. I can't find anything out about these tires. Google is not helping. Bing finds some retail sites, but they seem to not have any. The tread does seem to be good though.

Once these Rikens wear down, I'm going to get the Fortera TripleTreds. They are expensive, loud-ish, great in snow and apparently help keep you straight while sliding through mud at high speed! They are mostly light off-road all-seasons, but I don't think road style all-seasons would have done me good. I believe in safety over comfort and quite tires (I like my music loud anyway). I don't skimp out on tires. A extra $500 can be a very small price to pay! I found Sears to have the best price @ $190 a tires but you can always get them installed somewhere else. My local Sears shop does have good people.

This is all my opinion and my experience and why I shared so much. I know what tires I will always buy based on that. However, maybe someone has the same experience with Michelins or Bridgestones or a brand that you might not have heard of like Pirelli (at least for me).

Just like shoes, you can find an experienced non-brand tire shop and websites like this that can help you find the BEST TIRES for you.

 

Thinking about the Triple Treads for the CRV but not sure. I live in Baltimore where snow isn't too much of a factor since we do not have much of it but I need a good tire for rain and dry weather handling for sure. Any suggestions for a good all around tire (Similar to the Continental ExtremeContract DWS, those tires are epic)

Tirerack has a closeout on them

Size: 215/65R17
Sidewall Style: Blackwall

UTQG: 740 A B

GoodyearAssurance TripleTred(Passenger All-Season)

 

I beg to differ....My 2009 CR-V EX came with 225/65R17 102Ts and that is the size listed on the door label

 

Most all of the Accords I have owned and the 2 Ridgelines all came with excellent OEM tires; Michelins!!! Never ceases to amaze me that Honda puts POS tires on the CR-V. I installed Michelins on my 2010 and 2012 and believe me, it makes a lot of difference in the ride, drive, and wear!!

 

I just had mine in for an oil change and it looks like by next oil change I'll really need to consider getting new tires, which will put the vehicle around the 25k mile mark...so I suppose that's not too bad for stock. I had a Civic before this and I was replacing tires every 15k miles.

So I've seen a lot of opinions on here and agree with no "best tire" for everyone but more for your needs...that being said, I don't know anything about tires.

I live in Cleveland, and while we've barely had snow here, we usually do get pounded pretty well. "Home" is also three hours away which gets pounded, I also go to Buffalo a lot, which gets pounded, and I have to drive through Erie and along the lake the whole way to get there....which gets pounded.

Those trips aren't that often though...maybe 2-3 times during winter. 80% of my driving is city/rural/side road type driving. I'm not on the highway a lot. I don't really want two sets of tires either.

Does anyone have a strong recommendation for year round tires that are good in the snow when needed, still a nice drive on clear roads, and has a good life to them? The most "off roading" I do is driving into a gravel parking lot to go hiking with the dogs, so I'm not too worried about that.

Any thoughts? I really appreciate the help.

 

I put Hancook Optima H727s on my 2003 CRV and was very happy with them. They are top rated both by Tire Rack and Consumer Reports. And reasonably priced...

 

My '08 Ridgeline has 25K on the OEM Michelins and you cannot tell they have even been on the road, no visible wear!! Why can't Honda put this quality tire on all of their vehicles!!! Some of my friends on the Ridgeline forum are getting 80K before replacement!!

 

anyone have any experience or opinions on using Defender XT or Latitude for 2008 AWD CR-V?

 

We have a 2008 CRV and we installed the Michelin Primacy MXV4 (235/65-R17). These tires are Green-X and Have better ratings than the Latitude (see the Michelin.com site). The MXV4 has to be the quietist and smoothest riding tire available. After 12K miles, these tires show no visible signs of wear. We continue to get 33 to 35 mpg on the highway with these tires.

 

Got a set of Goodyear Triple Tred Assurance Comfort Touring tires from my Honda Dealer at cost after I complained about the OEM crap that lasted 23000 miles! These have GREAT traction in Snow/Rain and are QUIET!!!!!!!
