My fiancee's Honda Accord needs new tires, but Yokohama doesn't make the
A509 in her size :(.  Does anybody have an opinion of the Bridgestone HP41
Potenza, or Michelin MXV4, while we're all talking 'bout tires?

ObMiataItem:  I replaced my Miata's original SF325's, which were showing
cord on the shoulders, with BF Goodrich Comp T/A HR4's at about 30K miles.
The BFG's are still going about 28K miles later with no end in sight.
They're much better than the 325's, but they cause the well-known Miata
vibration like the 325's never did and they are still somewhat slippery when
wet.  When they wear out, unless someone has a better tire by then, I'm
going to try Yokohama AVS Intermediates.
