Greetings all;

If anyone is interested, I finally decided on the Michelin Hydroedge. I
have put over 1,000 kilometres on them through hard rain and some slippery
roads and so far I'm impressed. The road noise is greatly reduced. I've also
not been able to get them to hydroplane even through the worst of the
conditions I usually deal with on some very rutted roads. I'm waiting for
another good snow fall to see how they do then.

I'm also hoping they last as long as Michelin would have you believe.
Thanks for all your input.

Bill

I have a 1997 CRV with 120,000 miles on it. I got 40,000 miles on the
stock Bridgestones that came with it - 70,000 miles on the first set of
replacement Michelins.

I just put on it a set of new tires and wheels from a 2003 Accord on
ebay. Alloy wheels and new tires for $400. Lots of kids get new cars and
take off the stock tires and alloy wheels for the new fad wheels. You
can get full sets for cheap - they are even balanced. The hardest part
is keeping a straight face when you are paying them pennies on the
dollar for brandnew wheels and tires and you try to compliment them on
their choice of gaudy gross replacements that they paid $3000 for.
