I agree the Michelin Energy tires are awful - designed for mileage and
deliver not much else. I currently have Michelin X-One on my 97 accord
- handles very well - superb rain tire. Hard to break loose and if it
does you can recover - don't think it is possible to recover traction
with the Energy tires.

Suggest you also consider Bridgestone Potenza - see tire rack for info
- apparently quieter and very good handling. The X-One is fairly loud
over concrete - some roads with a lot of ridges really make them howl.
Also buy one of those $10 digital air guages - the old style jobbies
with the pop out stick are not at all accurate - also run your tires at
the max suggested on the door plates - which is 32# cold on my accord.
