So my question is: What are the BEST tires to put on our AWD CR-V here in the often snowy hilly roads of Pittsburgh? I have generally felt that Michelins are the best tire (although they cost twice as much), but it's not clear that they even make a tire that is right for CR-V.
I currently have the Dueler tires that came with it and seem to be wearing at 10,000 miles. I do NOT want to put them on again. HELP! WHADUIDU?

or go to the edmunds forum dedicated to the getting advice from the TireRack (closed now, but could have been answered)
Ask Conner at the TireRack
or go to the edmunds forum
Tires, tires, tires.
hope that helps.

The other site has a whole thread devoted to tires. Some like Triplthreads, some like Yokohama Avids.. and so on. One guy just put some Cooper tires that are very "toothy"
I am just watching sales to see what I can get. Sears has $50 off if you buy 4 Michelins, then I found that there is a $50 rebate on Michelin's web site, which may result in $100 off. I am thinking in lines of Pilot or Energy MX4.
I'm looking at the TripleTreads, Nokian, or Dunlop Signature. Right now I'm leaning towards the 'trips, even though they'll set me back $500.
Thanks
So, we'll see how it goes. I paid about $550 installed, out the door, including all taxes and nusance fees, at Sears. (Got new valve stems and balancing, but did not get the pricey "Road Hazard" thingie).

Now check out Mischelin website for the additional $50 rebate.

#1 Goodyear Triple Treads
#2 Michelin Radial X DT (available at warehouse clubs only)
#3 Michelin Hydroedge
I bought the Radial X DTs. They were $15 per tire cheaper than the other two. Plus, there was only 1 score point difference between the Radial X DTs and the Triple Treads. I figured $15 was enough to justify the 1 point. I've got 1,000 miles so far, and I love the tires. I'm so glad I wore down the OEM tires after 21,000 miles.
Do not get the Michelin Pilots or the MXM4 or the MXV4. They are rated very low and not worth the $$$.

Thank You
Thanks!
Now I'm happy, no new tires for the next 4 years
Well, maybe next year, but for the other car - also Hydroedge, looks like they'll last to about 100K
Discount Tires will match the TireRack prices.
I have put 40k miles on these tires since and they still look practally new.
Rotate your tires frequently, including the spare. The tires will last you many, many miles.
Also, keep the right tire pressure in the tires.
The grooving helps wet traction, and that is why highway officials mandate them.
Before our CRV we had a 2004 Saab 9-3. That car didn't do
it all - we had Pirellis and then Kuhmo tires on that car. Then before that a 1995 Maxima, again no nibbling. Our 1999 Tacoma also doesn't do it.
All of them pull, or wobble slightly on certain sections of grooved freeways, the concrete portion of them anyways.
Since all of those vehicles have different makes of tires, of various sizes, I doubt it is a tire thing or specific to the Honda CR-V.
I am sorry if my experience doesn't coincide with your opinon or experience.

Thanks for the replies to my original post.
Hell, I think I-15, and I-94 are as well, through Idaho!
Any other new owners experiencing tire nibbling?
I've got my interest spiked on this matter too..
Road maintenance seems a thing of the past.
When I went to the Honda dealer, he told since the wood is pierced on the side of the tire, it can't be fixed and I need to buy a new tire. Man, this is just 15 day old car with less than 500 miles on it and I asked why not you give me free tire? No, it is not possible was his answer but suggested to go to Bridgestone (thats the tire brand) tire dealer if they have any warranty, they might give a credit for a new tire. Bridgestone dealer told they don't have warranty on tires for brand new cars and they will not be able to do anything.
Came to my dealer from whom I bought the car, He also told they are not responsible for anything to do with tires and I need to change a brand new tire at his discounted price of $125.00. Since it is brand new vehicle with brand new tire, should I still need to pay for the new tire or do you guys have any advise on this? If need to change a new tire, which would be a best place to buy?
Go to Big O, or another tire dealer like that, and check their prices on the exact same model of tire. It is important that all 4 match.....
(1) Go to a tire dealer and see if you can get a rebate on your 3 remaining new tires and buy 4 better ones. There are much better tires out there than what comes on the CR-V. I'm a big fan of the Michelin Radial X DT or the Goodyear Tripletreads. Plus, both are offering good incentives like $50 cash cards and things like that.
(2) Get a replacement tire from tirerack.com or discounttire.com (whichever one gives you the better price). If you go through a website, you'll have a new tire in 3 days.
(3) Stay away from wood.
Bridgestone explicitly excludes road hazards from its warranty. This wasn't their fault; why should they have to give you a tire?
Accidents happen. Whether the car is 2 or 20 weeks old doesn't make any difference, other than it hurts a little more in a new car.
When you say get a rebate on remaining 3 tires, what do u mean and how to do and which tire dealer should I go (bridgestone?)? Since the tire came along with the new car, will he accept this offer?
I definitely agree with you. Michelin tires are the best ones and get $60 off at costco for 4 tires. But for doing that, I need to know how to get the rebate for the remaining 3 tires.
Try to understand, it isn't the tires fault!
Any tire hit as yours was by wood, metal, glass, at those speeds, most likely would have gone flat. Accidents happen. Go buy yourself another tire, same exact brand and model, at a discount tire place, Big O, America's Tire or the like. Go buy four new ones, of any brand, and pay several hundred dollars. Choice is yours.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on the CR-V uses a special tire valve, that will be silver in color, instead of brass. At a minimum, the valve core is usually replaced, as part of the normal steps in replacing a tire. Honda does not sell the valve cores separately, so the dealership has to part out the entire valve, even if they are only going to use the core from it. The cores from "normal" valves cannot be used on your CR-V with the TPMS.
If you have your tires replaced by someone other than Honda, they may not take all of this into account.
I'll have to see if I can find the link to the Honda document, and get it posted up here for y'all.
Thanks will be great!

Anyways, there is no much option to go to replace a brand new tire. I couldn't find tire for my 2007 CRV in tirerack or any other place like online tire places/costco/walmart etc. So I will go with my dealer. It costs me $100 for the tire and $25.00 for labor.
