1. Continental PureContact with Ecoplus Technology
Estimated Cost for a Set: $372
Speed Rating: T
Warranty: 70,000 Miles
Type: All-Season

Another fantastic all-season model, the PureContact is Continental’s love letter to sedan drivers. Which isn’t to say it doesn’t fit in nicely on minivans coupes, and crossovers, either. Continental’s Eco Plus technology works with all-season tread to improve treadwear and save on fuel costs. This is a tire that can actually save you money, just by using it. As far as Honda Accord tires go, the PureContact has a lot to offer.

2. Goodyear Eagle Sport
Estimated Cost for a Set: $388
Speed Rating: W
Warranty: 50,000 Miles
Type: All-Season

This is one of Goodyear’s top-performing all-season tire models. Highly responsive handling compliments year-round handling, making it a perfect tire for any weather. Built-in rim protectors help to protect your wheels from damage. At the same time, Goodyear’s Wrap Construction feature actually improves steering response. As an all-season tire, it’s already a top performer. Add to that Goodyear’s extremely reasonable pricing, and this is one of the top choices out there for Honda Accord tires.

3. Cooper CS5 Grand Touring
Estimated Cost for a Set: $400
Speed Rating: T
Warranty: 80,000 Miles
Type: All-Season

Considered by many to be the best model in Cooper’s line at the moment, the CS5 is also one of the most exhaustive Honda Accord tires on the market. Silica tread compound adds a better grip on dry roads, compounded by 3D micro-gauge grooves. Wear Square technology allows drivers to easily check in on the state of wear on their treads. The asymmetric tread improves grip in different road and driving conditions. StabilEdge can even make steering more responsive, and the 15 to 19 ” tires come with 60 or 70 thousand mile tread warranties.
