Question Need new tires. What best for 2007 RDX?

I need new tires.

The ones the dealer put in as Certified (some sort of Michelins), have lasted only 25,000 miles but 5 years in the hot, west coast of Florida.

I plan to keep the car another maybe 2 years or so, so it's time to replace.

Any recommendations for what to buy and where? I've read about Yokohama YK520 but need other input.

Thanks!

It really depends what characteristics you want to get out of a new set of tires. Wet traction, longevity, quiet ride, dry grip?

I've been running with Continental ExtremeContact DWS for a while now and they have been great. They are a little noisy on the road, but that could just be that I run them slightly oversized (225 45) instead of the stock spec of 215 50.

I think the OP might have posted in TSX forum instead of RDX forum?

I do second Conti DWS and they now have an updated version of the same tire. I run Conti DWS on all three of my Acura's and had very good success in all types of weather and road conditions. The only downside for my RDX is I can only get around 32,000 to 38,000 miles out of the tires while my MDX/TSX can go +50,000 miles?
