Tires
Back when I was driving a Civic, I changed out all 4 tires for ~$250. Don't remember the brand but had 0 issues with it over a few years and 20k+ miles.
The TSX, after rebate, was still ~$800. I think it was the Michelin Premier. Salesman probably got me to shell out a bit more than a cheaper brand by claiming it's quieter.
Aside from size, what else makes tires cost that much more? I think I just saw an ad for Accord tires for ~$320 a set. How much of my $800 was bs fluff cost?

Michelins are very expensive. You still can get a decent tire for about $100 a piece.
Like these ones for example https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...logy%20Package
Better tires like Pirelli or Continental will cost about $125-$140 each.

Michelins will last many more miles than the cheaper brand. The Premiere A/S in particular has better rain traction because the grooves widen as the tires wear. It's an appropriate tire for the TSX.
