It looks like I may need new all-season tires for my 1993 Honda Accord LX (185/70-14, minimum S-rated). It currently has Goodyear Regatta 2's and I am not happy with them. I have looked around town and on the 'net, and have come up with these possibilities for replacements:
Bridgestone Turanza LS-T
BF Goodrich Traction T/A
Michelin Harmony
Michelin HydroEdge
Kumho Touring 795
Toyo Spectrum
I am looking for something with excellent wet and dry handling, and reasonably low noise levels. I know the Traction T/A's have been getting good reviews, but I have heard some reports of rapid wear. I have also heard mixed reviews regarding noise levels on the Spectrum (I have Toyo Observe winter tires which have a mild but tolerable hum). And I have heard some say that Kumho tires are narrower than they advertise. Is there any truth to that? FYI, I am not an aggressive driver, but I don't consider myself easy-going either.
Assuming the issues with my Goodyear's cannot be fixed, which of the above tires would you recommend? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
