Best Tires for the Honda Accord EX L V6

For a first time driver in southern Ontario, these tires gave me confidence to drive in deep snow days. Especially for the price these tires hold their own. For city driving, these tires provide a healthy level of grip in snow and slush and didn't ever do anything unexpected. On highways covered in Ontario snow, the WinterCraft WP72 is similarly straightforward but at higher speeds the grip level becomes a little more vague on a lane change. Nothing jarring or dangerous, and the tires do communicate the limit fairly well. I found that in icy conditions these tires give out more so than in other settings. Depending on how much load you have going into icy corners, you may find this tire doesn't give you the best indication to slow down before losing grip. The one major drawback of this tire is the noise at highway speeds. Nothing unbearable but these winters drone more than a comfy all season would. If you're looking for a dead quiet tire this isn't it but for an affordable price these are great winters.

I’ve had primacy 4 on my Honda previous to the primacy 5. I can confirm these tires are not as good as the other tires as these have road noise.
I’ve had them on for about 400 klms and will be returning to the tire shop to have them returned. Other than the tire noise they are ok in other areas.
Hope this helps others looking for comparisons.

They are good tires. They are very noisy when they become a little worn. And they are NOT run flats

I bit the bullet and made the jump from a life of budget and mid-range tires to a premium offering for the first time with these tires, and my initial impressions are great. Worth every cent, hands down.

When cruising around and taking it easy, the road noise of this tire is lower than I've experienced with any other tire I've run on two different cars. There certainly is some noise, but it's not loud and fades into the background. The tires also just ride quite smooth, I'm confident passengers would not know I have a performance oriented tire if I'm taking it easy.

Dry performance is impressive, especially with some very cold temperatures lately where I'm running these in Wisconsin. We had a day or two of -5F (-20C) temperatures, and these tires still grip well, launching well from a stop and inspiring confidence when being thrown through curves. Grip only goes up from here as temperatures rise, above freezing, I'm unable to kick in traction control when launching from a stop at all.

What really impressed me is that in wet conditions, and with light snow/slush on the road, the tires didn't seem to care. I hardly had to adjust my driving habits, and it was easy to tell if you started to approach the limit, but they still felt solid.

These tires did struggle a little bit with ice, but they were still significantly better than anything else I've run, and recovered from slides quickly. The slides were also very predictable.

Moving from some generic budget/mid-range tires to these, one thing I also noticed is that all my older ones started to feel less planted as you approach and exceed 100mph (160kph). These feel glued to the road even at these speeds, and I have even made an emergency swerve at this speed with zero hesitation, no loss of grip, and great precision. All in Mexico, and allegedly, of course.

If you make one modification to your car, and don't want to swap wheels for winter/summer, get yourself a set of tires like these. I don't feel like I'm making any compromises for any conditions, and the fact that Continental pulled that off amazes me.
