...haven’t had them a whole year, yet. It’s hard to know how others would do with them. When I was in my twenties, tires didn’t last long at all. ;-) Now, with the front end kept very well aligned, frequent enough tire rotations, avoidance of big Fords (couldn’t get good front end alignments) and much easier driving most of the time (and not foolishly taking a route through a summer pass in the winter), almost any tire will wear well for me.

If I were in the eastern lowlands, it would be good rain tires during seasons other than winter. It’s much warmer even in Ontario now than here (the Rockies).

I’m currently running Michelin X-Ice tires on my Accord. They’re currently in they’re 4th winter of use, though, and I probably should have had new ones this year.

Come spring I’m ditching the Michelin MXV-Energy (or something like that) rim protectors on my summer rims and putting some quality rain tires on - in the rain is one time I find traction really lacking around here, especially with those tires.
