RE: [hondapilot] Re: Tire Recommendation for 06 LX
I put Forteras
on my ’04 and love them in the snow—great traction and control.
However, they’re too noisy and too
stiff for normal driving. I wish I would’ve put the Michelins on instead.

Recommendation for 06 LX
I have Goodyear Fortera's
and loved them during the first year, but this past winter, they were horrific
in the snow.

wants to change to GoodYear as the old ones have to be replaced in the coming
months. Said they last longer, but couldn't answer when I asked - why didn't
Honda put them in the first place.
